The Jeonbuk Office of Education held a '2027 Special Education School Major and University Admission Information Session for Special Education Students' at the Changjo Narae Audiovisual Room on the 15th.

The event, attended by around 330 special education students, guardians, and special education teachers, was organized to provide information on special education school majors and university admissions, and to support tailored career planning based on students' aptitude and career aspirations.

In the morning session, Hankyung National University, Wooseok University, and Daegu University participated to provide guidance on admission procedures and support systems for special education students. Additionally, individual career counseling sessions were conducted at 1:1 consultation booths set up by 6 universities from within and outside the province for students and parents.

In the afternoon, there was a session on special education school majors and employment-related information. The special education school major is a program where special education students who have completed high school receive vocational education and social adaptation training to prepare for independent living and employment.

During the event, cases of operating special education school majors and employment after graduation were shared, and information on employment support systems in collaboration with the Jeonbuk branch of the Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled was also provided.

Choi Jae-il, head of the Special Education Department at Yoo Elementary School, stated, "We will continue to expand tailored support to enable special education students and parents to choose their career paths based on accurate career and education information."
