It became known on the 7th that there was discussion about converting to coeducational education at the development plan development meeting.
thing. Even with the school’s explanation, the controversy has not subsided.
Dongduk Women’s University is changing to co-educational?
Schools are considering alternative options as it is likely that recruiting new students will become difficult in the future due to a decrease in the school-age population.
The position is that “it will be one year” due to the low birth rate, the school-age population is decreasing and college enrollment is declining.
Life is decreasing. Currently, the total number of new students at general universities is about 330,000.
This is because from 2018, the number of children born is less than 330,000. In fact, the low birth rate phenomenon
As student recruitment became difficult, universities such as Ulsan University and Pusan National University began accepting new students from some departments with low recruiting scores.
Middle and high schools that are planning to convert to co-educational schools are also stopping or eliminating student recruitment this year.
I heard that the situation has increased a lot.
But the students said, “No way!” There are hundreds of people protesting strongly in front of the school’s main building.
Take off your school jumpers, send condolences wreaths, and sign petitions opposing the conversion to engineering.
The protests are continuing, with more than 2,000 signatures opposing the conversion to engineering.

People often say to themselves, “Isn’t the transition to engineering already underway?”

The reason for the existence of women’s colleges still exists
Students are also emphasizing the reason for the existence of women’s colleges.
This women’s university studies issues such as gender discrimination, violence, and minority issues that have not yet disappeared.
It is meaningful as an academic foundation: “There is no such thing as a fake sex crime.”
In a society where this is not happening, the meaning of the existence of women’s universities remains the same:” Experts also agree
The recent controversy served as an opportunity to seriously think about the social meaning of the space called women’s college.
I say there is a need for women to freely express their opinions without censoring themselves.
It is a space where we can discuss various topics and create new possibilities for society.
We must not forget the significance of women’s universities as a rice field space.
How will we move forward?
Students from other women’s universities, including Sookmyung Women’s University and Sungshin University, are also expressing their solidarity and raising voices of opposition.
It is said that the rice fields are likely to grow even bigger in the future: especially in the case of Sungshin Fishing University in 2018.
There was already discussion about switching to engineering, but due to opposition from students, the school apologized.
Oh, all genders are included in the recruitment guidelines for special admissions for foreigners for the International Studies Department at Sungshin University, which will be new next year.
With the information that support was available, students began taking action against the conversion to coeducational schools.
Current students are completely withdrawing from engineering conversion, promoting a direct presidential system, and agreeing to accept male foreign students.
We are demanding that the school support us by occupying the main building and classrooms for two days.
We are continuing our activities and are providing opportunities for opinions from schools and students to be heard.
It’s also an eye position.
‘Violence is occurring due to students’ It is sad to see
He also said, “I accept responsibility for this.”

There is a platform company called NewX that organizes and sends out recent issues in a newsletter format.
Recently, the Dongduk Women’s University incident was covered. In the text, there was a hyperlink to the Chosun Ilbo article with photos of the bust and damage to the “strongly opposed” section, but the example was dismissed as follows.
1) Leave hundreds of school jumpers in front of the school main building.
2) Sending a condolence wreath,
3) Signing against engineering conversion
Dongduk Women’s University’s position on why they are protesting is only described and the problems are not mentioned.
It is completely contradictory to the tone that has been used to describe in detail the pros and cons or issues (regardless of the ruling and opposition parties) when dealing with existing political issues.
