As the government implemented the 'School Violence Penalty System' in college admissions, it has been revealed that a large number of applicants with records of school violence were rejected during the early admissions at universities in the Busan area.
According to Yonhap News on the 8th, a total of 247 applicants with records of school violence applied to early admissions at 12 universities in Busan (excluding Busan National University of Education, Dongseo University, and Youngsan University) for the 2026 academic year. Among them, only 51 applicants (20.7%) were accepted, while the remaining 196 applicants (79.3%) were rejected.
National universities had particularly high admission thresholds. At Busan National University, all 7 applicants with records of school violence were rejected. Similarly, at Pukyong National University and Korea Maritime & Ocean University, all 8 and 13 applicants were also rejected. Busan National University of Education has entirely banned applicants with records of school violence.
Among private universities, Dong-A University reportedly rejected all 32 applicants with records of school violence. Other private universities (excluding Kosin University, which had no such applicants) accepted some students, but the overall acceptance rates remained generally low. Dong-eui University accepted 24, Silla University accepted 7, Busan University of Foreign Studies accepted 7, Tongmyong University accepted 5, Inje University accepted 4, Busan Catholic University accepted 3, and Kyungsung University accepted 1.
In February 2023, the Ministry of Education announced the 'Comprehensive Measures to Eradicate School Violence,' mandating that records of school violence to be reflected in all admission tracks starting from the 2026 academic year.
According to a recent analysis by the office of Democratic Party Rep. Ji Sunmi, excluding Seoul National University, 180 applicants with records of school violence applied to the remaining 9 national universities. Out of these, 162 applicants (90%) were rejected due to score deductions. Kangwon National University had the highest number of rejections at 37, followed by Gyeongsang National University at 29, Kyungpook National University at 28, Jeonbuk National University at 18, Chungnam National University at 15, Chonnam National University at 14, Busan National University at 7, and Jeju National University at 1.
