Exam sites will be assigned according to candidates' locations: Muan Haengbok Elementary School and Yeongheung Middle School in Jeonnam, and Jeonnam Technical High School in Gwangju. All candidates must arrive by 8:30 a.m. with their admission ticket and ID. The exam will run from 9 a.m. to 1:40 p.m., with sections in the following order: ▲ Teaching Essay ▲ Curriculum A ▲ Curriculum B.


To ensure a fair examination, the Office of Education will strictly prohibit electronic and communication devices, including smartwatches, earphones, and mobile phones. Candidates must turn off prohibited items and hand them to an invigilator before the exam. If they are found carrying the items or keeping them in their bags during the exam, this will be treated as cheating, regardless of whether they were used.



The first-stage results will include candidates numbering 1.5 times the recruitment quota and will be announced at 10 a.m. on December 9 on the Office of Education's website and the online teacher recruitment system.
