During the visit, Superintendent Kim encouraged the students to "take good care of your health and do your best with your final studies so you can fully demonstrate the skills you've built up on the day of the CSAT," reassuring those who were feeling nervous.


Superintendent Kim then held a meeting with school staff and other officials to hear their views. They exchanged in-depth opinions on education issues, including the status of the high school credit system, ways to provide personalized career and college-admissions guidance, and strengthening admissions support at general high schools.


Daeseong Girls' High School, which Superintendent Kim visited that day, is a leading school in providing a personalized curriculum in line with the high school credit system. It has drawn attention for future-oriented programs, including classes that lead the way in using artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies and a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) club school program. The school also helps students prepare systematically for college admissions through a curriculum fair and personalized career-planning consultations.



Superintendent Kim Daejung said, "I hope students take good care of their health in the time remaining and fully demonstrate the skills they have built up," adding, "We will continue to incorporate firsthand feedback from schools into education policies and strengthen personalized career and college-admissions support at every step."
