According to Yonhap news agency, Lee Tae-Kun, National Power Officer of the South Korean National Education Commission, said at a press conference on the 19th that the party and government agreed that "killer examination questions" were the root cause of promoting extracurricular tutoring, and decided to arrange for the college entrance examination to not cover content outside the public education curriculum, so as to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the college entrance examination. In the near future, the Ministry of Education of South Korea will issue a plan to improve the competitiveness of school education and measures to reduce the burden of private education.
