There is confusion in the school sports field over the timing of implementation of the ‘minimum academic achievement system‘, which restricts student athletes from participating in competitions if they do not achieve a certain grade.

Students who devoted themselves to sports without receiving accurate information from the authorities suddenly found themselves at a disadvantage in the competition for higher education.

According to Yonhap News coverage on the 9th, the Ministry of Education recently sent an official letter to each city and provincial office of education titled ‘Notice on the revised application of the minimum academic qualification system for student athletes in 2024’ and announced that this system will be applied starting from the second semester of this year.

This is a measure that follows the enforcement regulations of the School Sports Promotion Act specifying the start date of this system as ‘March 24 next year’.

According to the enforcement rules, the minimum academic ability system restricts participation in games in the second semester if the first semester grades do not meet the standards, and if the grades fall below the standards in the second semester, participation in games is restricted by the Ministry of Education ordinance in the next semester.

Accordingly, students who do not meet the minimum academic standard for this second semester will not be able to participate in most domestic competitions in the first half of next year.

Although the system itself is a well-anticipated administration, some student athletes and parents are opposed to it.They claim that they have been informed by schools and offices of education that participation in the second semester will be determined based on grades in the first semester of 2024. 스포츠 토토사이트

The fact that there was no additional policy explanation other than the text of the enforcement rule to start on March 24, 2024, became an excuse for confusion.

While there has been no official announcement from the Ministry of Education, some fields have interpreted as a policy direction the plan to consider participation in the second semester by reflecting the grades of the first semester of 2024 after the date of application of the revision to the minimum academic background system for student athletes.

However, according to the official document, what will be implemented from March 2024 is a measure to ‘restrict participation’ rather than ‘reflection of performance’ as the field thinks.

As some schools have already held final exams, student-athletes who spent the semester without considering the minimum academic achievement system were in trouble.

In particular, middle school athletes, who had no way to make up for the restrictions on participation in competitions due to the design of the system, were hit hard.

In the case of high school students, even if their grades fall below the standard, the restriction will be lifted if they additionally complete the basic academic ability guarantee program, which is a supplementary education program.

Mr. A, an official of a middle school soccer team in Seoul, said, “The players thought it was the last semester before the minimum academic qualification system was implemented in earnest, so they focused more on sports.” He added, “Starting next March, mid-term and final grades will determine whether or not to participate in the next semester’s competition. “I was confirmed, but I am embarrassed to suddenly receive this notice,” he said. 슬롯
