On the 24th, the Ministry of Education proposed a meeting with the Korean Association of Medical Schools and the Student Association of Medical Schools (KAMS).
The Ministry of Education stated that it sent an official letter requesting a face-to-face meeting with KAMS and student councils from 40 medical schools across the country.
The Ministry of Education suggested discussing the "normalization plan for medical education" and "the direction of future medical education" with these organizations.
However, it is reported that these organizations have not yet responded regarding this matter.
Earlier, on the 22nd, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education Lee Ju-ho met with about 10 medical students at a meeting hosted by the Korean Medical Policy School. This was the first time the Deputy Prime Minister officially met with medical students following the conflict with the medical community. The meeting was held at the request of the Korean Medical Policy School to the Ministry of Education.
However, KAMS and the student representatives from medical schools did not participate in this meeting. The government announced on the 17th that it would adjust the number of medical school admissions next year from 5,058 to 3,058, urging medical students to return. Currently, the participation rate of medical students in classes is reportedly not significantly higher than the 26% stated by the government at that time.
