Since the introduction of the credit system in specialized vocational high schools in 2022, there has been growing demand for support in rolling out the system at small schools. This study aims to analyze the current status and needs of small vocational high schools in implementing the credit system and to identify key support tasks. In small vocational high schools, the uniform teacher allocation standards across school levels result in a heavy teaching load for teachers, which limits the ability to guarantee students a wide range of course options. Challenges related to managing the curriculum include mitigating increased teaching hours, securing time for courses outside of regular school hours, and identifying and securing local community institutions capable of offering classes. As a result, small vocational high schools are calling for support in strengthening teachers' instructional capacities in their subject areas, securing and managing external instructors, and providing transportation and administrative resources to better utilize local resources. These findings highlight the need for policy support from city and provincial education offices to better address teacher staffing and curriculum management at small schools.
