Abstract

This study analyzes the school selection standards and the impact of the educational environment on school preferences of students and parents who apply to high schools in Seoul. The school selection system was initially implemented to give students and parents the opportunity to choose a school while challenging the quality of education among competing schools; however, this process stifled the overall educational environment and resulted in the need for educational supplementation. The quality of education wasn't the only factor that influenced parents in selecting a school, but the overall educational environment was weighed heavily when determining a school and new place of residence for respective families. These preferences have negatively impacted the size of non-preferred schools and created a spatial and regional gap in the quality of education; furthermore, the decline in the youth population is forcibly reducing the size of all schools, particularly less preferable ones, deepening the gap in the number of students and classes offered among schools. Unfortunately, this creates a negative perception and reputation that schools with low student enrollment and classes will adversely affect college admissions; there is a possibility that less favorable schools will continue to be marginalized. Therefore, examining the main selection criteria for students and parents and analyzing preference determinants for educational facilities is necessary to provide pertinent information for future policies.
