Plans additional visits to local high schools to cheer students on through exam day

With just 10 days until the 2027 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), the head of the region's education authority is visiting schools where students are in the final stretch of intense preparation, offering encouragement to examinees and teachers. At schools where tension is reaching its peak, the superintendent is urging students to stay focused through the finish and giving them his full support so they can end on a high note.


According to the Jeonnam-Gwangju Special City Office of Education on Nov. 9, Superintendent of Education Kim Dae-jung made an unscheduled visit to Jeonnam High School that day to encourage third-year students preparing for the CSAT and their homeroom teachers.

During his visit to the school's third-year classrooms, Kim offered warm words of encouragement to students busy preparing for the CSAT. He stressed that staying healthy and making final preparations were more important than anything else over the 10 days remaining, and urged students to take the skills they had steadily built up into the exam room and show what they can do.


He also expressed his deep gratitude to the third-year homeroom teachers, who have devoted themselves to guiding students' academic and career paths while sharing in their daily lives. In addition, he met with school officials over tea to closely review preparations for the final stretch before the CSAT and hear a range of views from the field of education.


The visit to Jeonnam High School was part of Kim's series of visits to encourage examinees. In October, he visited Haenam High School and Daeseong Girls' High School in succession to cheer on students and wish them success on the CSAT. The education office plans to visit more high schools across the Jeonnam-Gwangju region during the remaining days before the exam to boost the morale of students and teachers.



Superintendent of Education Kim Dae-jung said, "I hope the sweat and intense efforts our students have quietly put in will lead to good results. I encourage them to put their health first in the days ahead, approach the exam with confidence and belief in themselves, and demonstrate all the abilities they have prepared without regret."
