It has been found that only one school in the country has decided to use Korean history textbooks, which have been controversial, in the first semester of next year.

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

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

As a result, each school has to adopt textbooks for next year by the end of this month, but few Korean history textbooks by the Korea Educational Testing Service have been adopted.

The textbook described the Syngman Rhee administration as "extending power" instead of "dictatorship" and briefly described the issue of Japanese military Japanese Military Sexual Slavery and the May 18 Democratic Movement, sparking controversy over bias.
