Proposal for Successful Landing of Policy for Enhancement of Connection between EBS Lectures and University Entrance Examination- Yu Hwang Wu

    SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, April 12, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- [Yu Hwang Wu's Language Essay Composition] Proposal for Successful Landing of Policy for Enhancement of Connection between EBS Lectures and University Entrance Examination

After the Minister of Education, Science and Technology, Ahn Byung-Man, announced that EBS lectures for university entrance examination would be reflected 70% in university entrance examination, the educational world for university entrance examination is tenser than any other time. The Minister Ahn said that the ministry would enhance connection between EBS lectures and textbooks for university entrance examination and questions in university entrance examination to make student prepare for university entrance examination without separate burden of private education expenses.

Considering that it was decided to settle a problem of high private education expenses causing an educational gap and difference in academic ability among each area and to stabilize public education, it is just worth being accepted. Although some private academies for the university entrance examination and enterprises of textbooks criticize that this policy will be executed to increase only sale figures of EBS textbooks, they also accept the decision without large confusion and are preparing for the policy in their own way.

Examinees have a positive participation in the above flow. Reports that access rate and download of EBS lectures are quickly increased by examinees who want to see EBS internet lectures show us the present atmosphere.

Although it has been argued that connection rate between EBS lectures and questions in the university entrance exam was 20-60%, examinees have lowly depended on EBS lectures since its rate has not been fixed. Even some pointed out that it fell down to simple lecture for reference, not for supplementation; depth.

According to this policy, if reflection rate of EBS lectures is accurately kept more than 70%, it will have not a few effects on reduction of private education expenses which students, their parents and schools have been in agony most.

Of course, this policy has some preceding conditions to get good results. The most basic is a level of EBS lectures. Examinees should be able to understand the quality and contents of EBS lectures without separate lessons at private academies. In summary; arranged lectures suitable to the university entrance examination, rather than lectures with diverse textbooks, should be prepared.

EBS lectures should be kept at a level to let examinees not neglect school classes such as preparing for lectures on the basis of basic learning in school classes. If examinees concentrate their efforts on only EBS lectures by paying attention to only 2/3 reflection rate, it may be deteriorated to harmful effect in the stabilization of public education.

Especially, this policy should be a starting point to settle inequality in opportunity of education. The lower-income group is worthy of giving welcome to this policy. However, in the part of expenses for EBS textbooks, it still imposes a burden on them. Just 1/3 of students in the lower-income group can be supported the textbooks free of charge. As EBS decided on lowering expenses for EBS internet lectures, the government should also consider preferential arrangement of budget to offer textbooks for the university entrance examination free of charge.

The government should not put only rash desire before this policy. The purpose of this policy is to give vigor to public education and to reduce a level of dependence on private education. Therefore, the government should strive to let the policy secure its position as a distinct alternative for stabilization of public education by seeing how students who get the most direct effect from the policy take EBS lectures and continuing to upgrade quality and contents of EBS lectures.
