Ministry of Education cracks down on illegal college entrance consulting after CSAT

This entrance examination is expected to be more uncertain than ever, such as the increase in medical schools and the expansion of non-major selection, so the battle for wits is expected to be fierce even after the CSAT.

The Ministry of Education decided to crack down on high-priced admission consulting firms, believing that they would thrive.

Ahead of the College Scholastic Ability Test, admission consulting advertisements are being posted in academy districts across the country.

Unprecedented increase in medical school, the largest number of N students ever, and expansion of non-major selection.

This is because there are so many variables this year that it is difficult to predict with existing entrance examination results such as cut lines.

Depending on the difficulty of the CSAT, the last-minute battle for wits seems inevitable.

Therefore, many test takers and parents are looking for admission consulting companies, and there are many problems.

This is because there are constant problems such as demanding too much cost or consulting with companies that have not registered with the government.

Most of the consulting content for entrance examinations is not shared with people around them, so they often don't even know that they have been damaged.

From the day after the CSAT to the end of this year, the Ministry of Education will crack down on entrance exam consulting companies with 17 metropolitan and provincial offices of education nationwide.

Usually, it is cracked down about once a year, but this is the third crackdown this year as there is high uncertainty about entrance exams.

The government explained that areas with many companies, such as Seoul, could continue to crack down until February next year when the entrance examination is completed.
