From the perspective of improving the quality of education, the Ordinance clarifies the items of educational information that must be disclosed in order to clearly define the information that should be made public by law. Additionally, on April 1, 2025, a partial revision of the Ordinance for Enforcement of the School Education Act was made with the aim of promoting 'quality assurance open to society' by disclosing necessary information to the public and advancing dialogue with society.
