According to data on the adoption of high school Korean history textbooks from 17 metropolitan and provincial education offices, received by Representative Ko Min-jung of the Democratic Party of Korea, a member of the Education Committee of the National Assembly, only one school in Gyeonggi-do a adopted Korean history textbooks published by the Korean Educational Testing Service.

Starting next year, the education field will have to use a new high school Korean history textbook that reflects the new curriculum.

As a result, every school must adopt textbooks for next year by the end of this month, but few Korean history textbooks from the Korean Educational Testing Service have been adopted.

The manual described the Syngman Rhee administration as an “extension of power” instead of a “dictatorship” and briefly described the issue of Japanese military sex slavery in the Japanese army and the May 18 Democratic Movement, sparking controversy over bias.
