some background info about this scheme:

Academic Credit Bank System - Background and Objectives
• • • • • • • • • •
The Credit Bank System (CBS) is an open education system that recognizes diverse learning experiences gained not only in school but also out of school. When a student accumulates the necessary CBS-approved credits, that student can obtain an associate or bachelor’s degree.

=================================================

The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has appointed Choi Ran, Eric, Jang Geun Seuk, Jang Yoon Jung and Park Hae Jin as the ambassadors for the 2008 Tree of Hope Celebration Festival.

"The Academic Credit Bank System - 2008 Tree of Hope Celebration Festival" plans to encourage students under this scheme and to raise the social standing of the system.

A spokesperson said, "Although the system has been in place for 10 years, the public is generally still unaware of it. We hope that the appointed stars, who themselves set good examples for continuous learning, will help to spread the word about the CBS and the Tree of Hope celebration."

Choi Ran has had the practical experience of earning a degree via the system, while Eric was the ambassador for the anti-school violence campaign. Jang Yoon Jung was previously involved in activities for young cancer patients and other charity events, and Park Hae Jin has been working on an acting course via the CBS.

They will be appearing in posters, advertisements and UCC for the campaign. From 23 to 24 September, activities will be held in Olympic Gymnasium and Haneol Plaza in Olympic Park, and the festivities will kick off with a performance on 23 September.
