Gwangju City has announced that Sunchon National University will be the candidate for the establishment of a new national medical school.
On August 28, applications were received from both Mokpo National University and Sunchon National University. A panel of judges selected by the Jeonnam Research Institute evaluated the proposals from the two universities, leading to this decision.
The Ministry of Education had requested both Mokpo National University and Sunchon National University to submit plans for the establishment of a national medical school by August 20, with the understanding that a merger was a possibility.
However, the two universities were unable to reach an agreement and submitted separate proposals.
The Ministry of Education then requested Gwangju City to recommend one candidate university by August 30.
Ultimately, Gwangju City selected Sunchon National University as the final candidate.
