According to this planning framework, the recognition of completion of primary school program and recognition of secondary school graduation will be considered before June 30, 2025. Enrollment for first-level classes will be completed before July 31, 2025.

The 2025 high school graduation exam is scheduled to take place on June 26 and 27, 2025, one day earlier than this year.

2025 is the year when the first batch of students under the new general education program will take their graduation exams. Currently, the high school graduation exam is organized with 6 subjects, including Math, Literature, Foreign Language, Natural Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) or Social Science (History, Geography, Civic Education). Thus, from 2025, the number of exam subjects will be reduced by two and the number of exam sessions will be reduced by one.

Regarding the method of considering high school graduation recognition in 2025, the Ministry said it will combine the results of the process assessment and the graduation exam results at an appropriate ratio.

In addition, the exam will maintain the paper-based format until 2030. After 2030, a pilot computer-based exam will be conducted for multiple-choice subjects.
