Pyeongtaek City Supports Exam Candidates Through Online College Entrance Information Session

[Suwon Ilbo=Correspondent Seo Dong-young] Pyeongtaek City held the second online college entrance information session on the 29th with the theme of "2021 Academic Year Rural and Maritime Special Admission and Regular Admission Strategies" to support academic planning for high school seniors at schools located in rural and fishing areas within the city.

The college entrance information session was conducted live for approximately two hours on Pyeongtaek City's YouTube channel instead of in-person events in response to COVID-19. After a special lecture on rural and maritime special admissions, a question-and-answer session was held through live chat to provide a venue where exam candidates could resolve their questions about college entrance procedures.

Moon Hee-tae, a lead instructor at the Korean Council for University Education who delivered the lecture that day, said, "Those wishing to apply for rural and maritime admissions must understand the respective admission type and formulate an entrance strategy suited to it," and added, "Though you will face many hardships due to COVID-19, I hope each of you will do your best and achieve the goals you desire."

Exam candidates and parents who missed the online college entrance information session can view it on Pyeongtaek City's YouTube channel from 9 a.m. on September 2 to 6 p.m. on September 3.

Meanwhile, the city plans to present an entrance information session with the theme of "Analysis and Strategy of College Scholastic Ability Test Results" through Pyeongtaek City's official YouTube channel on December 5.
