EDUCATION IN KOREA

Korea has traditionally placed great importance on education as a means for
self-fulfillment as well as for social advancement. Today, Korea boasts one of
the highest literacy rates in the world. It is a well- recognized fact that
Korea’s well-educated people have been the primary source of the rapid economic
growth that the nation has achieved during the past six decades. The Ministry of
Education (MOE) is the government body responsible for the formulation and
implementation of educational policies. The government provides guidance on
basic policy matters as well as financial assistance. Korea has a single-track
6-3-3-4 system, which denotes six years of elementary school, three years of
middle school, three years of high school, and four years of college or
university which also offer graduate courses leading to master’s degrees and
doctoral degrees. The single track has been a characteristic of the Korean
education system, which maintains a single ladder system of schooling in order
to ensure that every citizen can receive primary, secondary, and tertiary
education.

THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM 

The National Curriculum for the Primary and Secondary Schools 2015(PDF)


PRE-PRIMARY EDUCATION

The national kindergarten curriculum has been reformed ten times since the first
curriculum was established in 1969. The Nuri Curriculum was implemented for all
five-year-olds in 2012, and was expanded to cover all three to four-year-olds in
2013. The Nuri Curriculum is designed to promote the development of children in
five key areas (physical exercise, health, communication, social relationship,
artistic experience, nature exploration) with the aim to promote balanced growth
of both mind and body.

PRIMARY EDUCATION

Primary education in Korea is free and compulsory providing the general
rudimentary education necessary in life. Enrollment rate at primary schools is
as high as 99.9%. The quantitative expansion of primary education is due to the
high public zeal for education and the educational policies of the government.
The sudden increase in the number of students and the migration of the rural
population into cities has prompted the government to create an education tax in
1982 to finance the expansion and modernization of physical facilities and to
improve the socio-economic status of teachers. As a result, the number of
students per class dropped to 34.8 in 1990. Overcrowded schools have been
divided into smaller ones and the double shift system of classes has been
terminated. The government will continue to strive to improve primary education.
With the revision of the regulation that prohibited children under six from
entering primary school, even five year olds who are thought to have the ability
became eligible to enter school if there is space. In addition, to expand
foreign language education, English has been taught as a part of the regular
curriculum starting in 1997, one hour per week for third and fourth graders, two
hours per week for fifth and sixth grade students.

SECONDARY EDUCATION

High school course in Korea consists of three years. Individuals who graduate
from middle schools or pass a qualification exam and/or an assessment that
offers equivalent credits can be admitted into high schools. There are four
types of high schools- General High Schools, Special-Purposed High Schools,
Vocational High Schools, and Autonomous High Schools. Student selection
procedures differ by school types and/or school location (e.g., metropolitan or
provincial areas). Students are required to pay admission fees and tuition since
high school is not considered compulsory education in Korea.

HIGHER EDUCATION

The purposes of universities and colleges are to develop students’ personality,
teach and research the profound theories of science and arts necessary for the
development of the nation and human society (Article 28 of the Higher Education
Act). Higher education is provided to high school graduates or individuals with
equivalent academic abilities approved by relevant laws in Korea, and a
bachelor’s degree or a professional license is conferred to those who complete
the curriculum. The years required for university graduation are two to four
years for Junior Colleges and four years for universities, yet two years of
preparatory courses and thus six years in total are required for the fields of
medicine, traditional Asian medicine, dental, veterinary medicine, and
pharmacology.

SPECIAL EDUCATION

Special education provides relative curricula and services (e.g., counseling
service, family support, treatment support, assistant personnel support,
supplementary technology support, supplementary academic support, etc.) in order
to meet the needs of students with diverse types of disabilities and
characteristics. Kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and high school
education are compulsory education for individuals with special needs, in which
free education is provided to children under three-year-olds as well as those
who wish to continue education in a specific major (i.e., individuals with
special needs who has a high school diploma and wants to continue studying
career and vocation education).
