Government Employees Pension Service Holds First Learning Information Session for Children of Fallen Officials... Guidance on High School Credit System and University Admissions Strategies

In Collaboration with Gangnam Ingang
One-on-One Admissions Consulting Available for Interested Participants

The Government Employees Pension Service (GEPS) held its first-ever learning information session for the children of public officials who died in the line of duty. The session, organized in collaboration with Gangnam District Office's Internet CSAT Broadcast (Gangnam Ingang), was designed to support the academic pursuits of these children and alleviate some of the pressures associated with university entrance exams.

The GEPS announced on September 21 that the “Information Session for Children of Fallen Public Officials” was held on September 19 at the Nonhyeon 1-dong Community Center in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

The session was divided into two parts. In the first part, Kim Sanggeun, a teacher at Deokwon Girls’ High School, provided guidance on the new direction of university preparation following the introduction of the high school credit system. This system, which has been fully implemented since 2025, allows students to choose and complete courses according to their career interests.

In the second part, Lee Chiwoo, Director of the Entrance Exam Evaluation Institute at Visang Education, presented strategies for university admissions for the 2027 and 2028 academic years. Each lecture was followed by a dedicated Q&A session.

For those attendees who wished, personalized one-on-one admissions consulting will be provided through a professional agency.

Kim Jeongnam, Director of Compensation Division 2 at the GEPS, stated, “We hope this session will help the children and guardians of fallen public officials better understand the changes in education and college admissions systems, and assist them in planning their academic and career paths.” He added, “We will continue to provide necessary support to bereaved families to ensure their treatment is worthy of the sacrifices made by fallen public officials.”

Last year, the GEPS signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Gangnam District to support the learning needs of the children of fallen public officials. Through Gangnam Ingang, the organization has been offering educational content to them. With this session and the one-on-one consulting, GEPS has now expanded its support from online content provision to include learning and admissions information, as well as personalized academic counseling.
