“This year, we refuse to National Academic Assessment Examination.”
National Academic Assessment Examination("일제고사") is that Korea schools have examination to evaluate student’s achievements.
This examination gives rise to complication between government and many people as students, parents and teachers. Groups of parents of students and teachers will refuse to this examination and they are going to educational experience slated for October 14 ~15. So they are expected to friction with the education authority.
Yoon sook ja, policy planning chairperson, claims “students that have trouble to study are founded due to this examination but governments failed to come up with solutions.
This educational experience will be held nationwide as last year and Groups of parents of students will hold large events of culture experience in Seoul.
Last year, many teachers were severely reprimanded for their moving to refuse the examination. The teacher’s labor union have plane to support the educational experience indirectly but they will not claim this trouble directly.
The Department of Education decides that school or teacher that refuse this examination will be submitted to a disciplinary measure.
In my opinions, our education policy always debated the pros and cons and cause many complications. Now, students of our country are plunged in excessive competition of entrance examinations and they spend the day on the desk to study. In this excessive competition, we could see the word as “hell entrance examination”
I think that National Academic Assessment Examination gives stress to students because operation of this examination not for students and this examination make precedence. I hope that Education policy will concerned for students.

This is a problem, but I don't see a solution. It is a difficult social issue.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a suggestion on how to change this?
I'm going to edit your opinion section:
