The government and the ruling party pointed out that the quality of school education has declined and private education expenses have soared by more than 50% over the past Moon Jae-in administration.

As one of the solutions, he announced that he would not give the most difficult problem in the CSAT, the so-called ‘killer question’.

It is said that private education is caused by the ‘killer question’ that requires background knowledge that is difficult for university professors to solve.

″The killer question is an easy way to increase the discrimination of the test, but it is the root cause of pushing students to private tutoring… ″

He explained that the ‘fair college entrance exam’ does not mean the so-called ‘water college entrance exam’, and that he would advance the technique to secure the appropriate level of difficulty.

Instead, it was decided to expand the use of EBS so that students can study on their own, and to strengthen customized support according to the results of the academic background diagnosis.

Autonomous private high schools, foreign language high schools, and international high schools, which the Moon Jae-in administration had decided to abolish, will be maintained.

It announced that it would take strict action once morest illegal acts such as false and exaggerated advertisements by large entrance exam academies that stir up anxiety and confusion among students and parents.

However, it was only said that it was analyzing the June mock evaluation that caused the hardship of the director in charge of college admissions at the Ministry of Education.

There is still no concrete basis for what the education authorities and the private education system are.

Specific measures to strengthen school education and private education will be announced on the 21st and 27th.
