According to the university on the 6th, the number of successful candidates by major were 11 in Art Education, 9 in Music Education, and 5 in Korean Language Education.

Notably, in the Music Education department, the top scorers of the middle school teacher appointment exams for Jeju Province and Gangwon Province emerged. Among them, the top scorer for Jeju Province attracted attention by making the top scorer list on their first attempt while still enrolled.

Since the number of appointments in the middle school teacher appointment exam is small, the competition rate has been increasing every year, making retaking the exam once or twice a common situation recently.

Mokwon University College of Education has been dedicated to training prospective teachers by sequentially establishing six departments starting with Music Education in 1969, followed by Art Education, English Education, Korean Language Education, Mathematics Education, and Early Childhood Education.

Jeon Young-joo, Dean of Mokwon University College of Education, said, “Mokwon University has boasted the highest pass rate in the Daejeon area teacher appointment exams so far,” and added, “The university will continue to strive to nurture capable prospective teachers who will be responsible for the future of the Republic of Korea.”
