2- 3999-785 Educational Self-Reliance based on 17 Administration Organizations and engagement and communication Culture Homepage www.sen.go.kr Greetings Our education system is now on a path that has never been taken ─one that strays away from “Elitism” heading towards “One-and-Only Person” education. Our education system has long been dominated by the paradigms of “catch-up education” and “elite education” with the goal of quickly catching up with advanced countries. However, modern society characterized by globalization and technological advancement requires new education that can produce
the right people for the new era. We have overcome “elite education.” We now pursue “one-and-only person” education. We pursue an education that helps each and every student build their distinct personalities and realize their own unique values. We are making earnest efforts in various areas to create classrooms where students’ creativity and diversity can thrive. We will realize future-oriented, innovative education that prepares students to grow into creative and democratic citizens.We will continue working hard to create schools in which every morning is full of excitement so that learning
itself is a fun and exciting activity for everyone involved through the realization of our vision, “Classrooms that encourage questions, schools that foster friendships, education that enriches lives.” Seoul education system is owned by the students, faculty, parents, and citizens. There is a saying that goes, “There were no roads in the beginning. They were created by people who needed to walk down them.” Likewise, Seoul education system expects to create a new course for education through your full engagement in every step of the way. Please join our efforts to further enrich Seoul education
system. We are looking forward to your continued interest and support. Thank you.
