TOEFL, TOEIC and other English test scores will not be used as major elements in the process of admitting students to universities under the admissions officer system.  As reported in The Korea Times, this is part of new guidelines announced by the Korean Council for University Education (KCUE).  The new policy is in line with the government’s move to reduce private tutoring costs and reinvigorate the public school system.  More weight will be given to academic records from high schools, recommendations from teachers, and leadership activities.
