Conditions for attending primary schools in Korea

I. Age requirements

The age requirement for primary school entrance in Korea is relatively fixed, generally between 6 and 7 years old. All children over 6 years old are obliged to receive primary education. In addition, South Korea's requirements for school age can also vary from region to region, but they are generally between 6 and 7 years old.

Second, health status.

South Korea also has certain requirements for the health status of primary school students, and it is necessary to have a health examination before entering school. You can't go to school if you have any fatal diseases or overburdened diseases. In addition, physical examinations on eye and ear diseases, oral and mental health are required when entering school.

Third, the penetration rate requirements

South Korea is a country that attaches great importance to education popularization. In Korea, the popularity of primary education is very high, so the competition for primary school entrance is fierce. When entering primary schools, the popularity of applicants will also be considered, and some poor areas will give priority to students with higher popularity.

Fourth, the entrance interview.

Entering a primary school in Korea usually requires an interview. The interview content includes family life, hobbies, personality and other considerations. In addition, parents' performance in the interview process is also very important. Therefore, many parents in South Korea will invite professional admissions teachers to prepare for the interview in order to let their children pass the interview as smoothly as possible.
