Inje-gun, Recruiting Students for Sejong School Recognized for Elementary and Middle School Education

Inje-gun, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province (Governor Choi Sang-gi) announced on the 13th that it is recruiting students for Sejong School, which recognizes elementary and middle school academic credits.

Sejong School is an educational program established by Inje-gun after being designated as an elementary school accredited institution by the Gangwon Provincial Office of Education in 2018 to provide adult literacy education. It is an educational institution that operates a shortened curriculum of 6 years of elementary school and 3 years of middle school, and students who attend more than two-thirds of the education period at each stage can receive recognition of elementary and middle school academic credits without a separate exam.
