The "Parent Career and College Admission Brunch Cafe," organized by the Jeonnam Gwangju Integrated Special City Office of Education for parents preparing for the 2027 college entrance exams, received an enthusiastic response.

According to the Jeonnam Gwangju Office of Education on July 28, this event was held simultaneously at five Career and College Admission Counseling Centers in Mokpo, Suncheon, Yeosu, Naju, and Gwangyang. The initiative was designed to alleviate parents' anxieties amidst the rapidly changing college admissions landscape and to help them respond proactively.

Notably, moving away from conventional large-scale information sessions focused only on data delivery, the event adopted a "brunch cafe" format where parents could communicate with experts in a relaxed atmosphere, resulting in a high level of satisfaction among participants.

The day's program began with a special lecture on "2027 College Admissions Strategies for Early Decision" and was followed by an in-depth Q&A session, "Career and College Talk Talk," with admissions officers. Parents were able to freely ask questions about their concerns — ranging from managing student records, changes in university admissions criteria, to customized strategies for early decision applications.

During the Q&A session right after the lecture, parents' attention was captured by detailed consultations centered on real-life college admissions cases.

Currently, the Jeonnam Gwangju Office of Education provides a variety of counseling services based on its Career and College Admission Counseling Centers, including one-on-one in-person counseling, telephone counseling (1644-8113), the KakaoTalk channel "Jeonnam Education Career and College Talk Talk," and online counseling through the Career and College Admission Support Portal.

Additionally, from August 18 to September 4, a "concentrated counseling period for early admission" has been designated, and the support system will continue to be expanded so that both students and parents can receive customized career and college admission counseling.

Seong-A Jeon, head of the Career Education Division, emphasized, "A successful college entrance process can be prepared more effectively not only with the student's efforts but also with the parent's accurate understanding and strong support," adding, "We will continue to expand reliable, customized career and college admission support for students and parents to further enhance the competitiveness of public education."
