The university support project for contributing to high school education is a project to improve the admission selection of universities in order to improve the quality of high school education and relieve the burden on students and parents’ entrance fees to universities.

Pukyong National University has been selected for the project for five years in a row since it was selected for the project in 2015, and received an additional grant of at least 405 million won after receiving 844 million won in last year. With this government subsidy, the university plans to improve its entrance exams and run high school education support programs.

The university will also expand high school-university linkage programs such as the major public relations department that has been operating to help students understand the major of middle and high school students.

Chae Young-hee, director of admission at Pukyong National University, said, "In cooperation with 11 career education support centers in Busan, we will strengthen the cooperation with the entrance admission guidance and career advancement programs to promote university-level efforts and cooperation with local institutions. <Pukyong Today>
