"Controversy over the leakage of essay questions" at Yonsei University, "I will not consider retesting."

[Anchor]
The school drew the line that it was not true when it was claimed that the test papers were distributed early at Yonsei University's essay test site and the problem was leaked in advance.The photo of the questionnaire posted on the

online community was taken illegally after the end of the test, and it is said that there was no damage to fairness in the test process.

I'll connect you to a reporter.

Reporter Yoon Woong-sung, what is Yonsei University's position?

[Reporter]
Yonsei University said in a notice last night that the claim that the problem was leaked in advance in the essay examination on the 12th is not true.It is true that the supervisor mistook the time at the

test site and distributed the questionnaire early, but it was not possible to share it online because the electronic device was turned off and put in a bag.

A photo of the questionnaire posted on some Internet sites said the problem was leaked before the start of the test, explaining that files taken illegally appeared to have been shared since the end of the test.

As a basis for that, I heard that the signs that were incorrectly marked on the questionnaire were corrected and that there were traces of solving them.

As there are signs of correcting the signs and solving the problems according to the guidance 30 minutes before the end of the test, it was not filmed in advance, but after the end of the test.

Therefore, the school explained that it is not considering retesting because there is no damage to fairness.

The controversy continues even with Yonsei University's explanation?

[Reporter]
That's right. Even after Yonsei University's explanation, there have been a series of articles claiming unfairness in the student community.

First of all, it is pointed out that the fact that the test questions were distributed in advance even by mistake gave someone more time to solve them.

He also criticizes that even if it is not a pre-shot, the fact that the questionnaire and answer sheet were taken with a mobile phone before collecting it shows that the management of electronic devices was poor throughout the test period.

Experts also expressed the view that if it is confirmed that some test takers have seen the problem in advance, they need to retake the test.

Let's listen to it for ourselves.

[Im Seong-ho / CEO of Jongno Academy: Even if it was released for a short time, the re-examination is inevitable because some parts that could be very helpful to certain test takers can be judged by looking at the question..]

The Ministry of Education said that essay tests are conducted by individual universities on their own, but is watching Yonsei University's actions.

It also added that other universities are planning to request thorough management so that similar controversies do not repeat themselves.
