The education ministry plans to lift the restrictions on college admission for 17-year-old students who have not yet completed three years of high school in order to increase the number of promising applicants in various fields, ministry sources said Sunday.
Currently, second-year high school students can only apply for entry into math and physics courses at universities and colleges that have graduate-level courses.
The Education, Sports, Science and Technology Ministry aims to eliminate the restrictions to allow 17-year-olds to begin any course of study at all universities, colleges, junior colleges and vocational colleges, the sources said.
