Coeducational Transition Expected to Attract a Surge of Talented Students
Gyeongsan City (Mayor Cho Hyunil) announced on March 3 that on February 27, it invited students from Gyeongsan Jeil High School who had successfully passed this year’s civil service examination, to commend their hard work and celebrate their new beginnings.
Gyeongsan Jeil High School (Principal Choi Yohan) achieved remarkable results this year, with seven students (national, health, and military civil service positions) passing the final stage of the civil service exam and seventeen students passing the exam to become noncommissioned officers responsible for national defense.
This achievement is particularly noteworthy because it is not a one-time success.
Reviewing the school’s results over the past three years: eight students passed in 2023, eight in 2024, and seven in 2025, consistently demonstrating outstanding performance each year. This has firmly established the school’s reputation as the region’s premier “public service academy” and a leading institution for employment.
Above all, Gyeongsan Jeil High School is attracting attention in the community as it begins coeducational enrollment for the first time in the 2026 academic year.
With its exceptional track record and the addition of an excellent learning environment for both male and female students, the school is expected to attract even more talented applicants in the future.
Furthermore, it is anticipated that the school will usher in a new era as a cradle for nurturing the region’s leading talent.
Mayor Cho Hyunil of Gyeongsan City stated, “I give my heartfelt applause to all seven civil service exam passers and seventeen noncommissioned officer exam passers for overcoming fierce competition and grueling preparation. As you take your first steps as public servants who serve our citizens and nation, I hope you become the solid foundation of Korea’s future.”
Choi Yohan, Principal of Gyeongsan Jeil High School, also remarked, “The unwavering results we achieve each year are the product of our students’ dedication and the systematic, tailored career guidance from our teachers. Moving forward, we will spare no effort in providing educational support so that even more students can pursue their dreams, using the transition to a coeducational system as a strong stepping stone.”
Meanwhile, Gyeongsan City plans to continue supporting various partnerships between local governments and schools, as well as customized talent development programs, to help vocational high school students in the region secure quality jobs and settle within the local community.
