The success of Korean education comes more from the success of basic education. Since 2007, South Korea has vigorously developed English education and international education, including traditional education schools representing oriental culture and international schools headed by European and American education, which have generally improved the overall level of Korean primary and secondary school students and the overall quality of the people! Let me look at the specific advantages of the Korean education system:
Preschool Education-Happy Teaching, Harmonious Development of Children's Body and Mind
Although preschool education in Korea is not compulsory at present, its importance has been paid more and more attention in recent years. The age of preschool education is mainly 3-5 years old. When a child is 6 years old, he will automatically enter the first grade of primary school. The purpose of children's education is to create a suitable environment for children and coordinate their physical and mental development through various pleasant activities and teaching methods. There are five main areas in life: nature, society, thinking expression, language and life.
Basic education-combining basic science and technology education with simple vocational training.
South Korea's primary education lasts for six years, and six-year-old children are recruited to prepare for junior high school. Primary education institutions in Korea are all compulsory schools. Starting from the fourth grade of primary school, industrial courses are added to provide students with basic science and technology education and simple vocational training. There are nine basic courses in primary schools: Science, Mandarin, Sociology, Arithmetic, Science, Physical Education, Music, Fine Arts and Practical Fine Arts. Since the third grade of primary school, English has been listed as a compulsory course. Although private schools also have a place in Korean primary education, the proportion is very small. Most of them are public primary schools.
Secondary education-there is no pressure to enter school and the quality of education is balanced.
Secondary education includes junior high school and senior high school. As a secondary education institution, South Korea's junior high school implements a three-year academic system, enrolling primary school graduates and preparing for entering high schools and other schools equivalent to high schools. High schools in Korea are divided into humanities high schools and industrial high schools, which are what we call liberal arts and science. The academic system lasts for three years, and the enrollment targets are junior high school graduates and people with equivalent academic qualifications.
Junior high school: After graduating from primary school, teenagers aged 12 to 14 are allowed to enter junior high school to study the courses of grades 7 to 9 (free compulsory education). Since 1968 canceled the junior high school entrance examination, junior high school enrollment has changed to the system of distribution by region or lottery, leaving no room for students to choose schools; At the same time, it is also to eliminate the difference between key middle schools and ordinary middle schools, so that all junior middle schools can provide students with the same quality of education and reduce the pressure of entrance examinations. The junior high school curriculum consists of 1 1 basic compulsory subjects, several elective courses and extracurricular activities.
Korean immigrants: flight attendants in junior high schools, with professional experience and etiquette training.
High school: South Korea's high schools are composed of ordinary high schools and vocational high schools. The academic system is three years, and the tuition is self-care. The enrollment targets are junior high school graduates and people with equivalent academic qualifications. Students, parents and teachers attach great importance to the college entrance examination, which promotes the development of private education in Korea. Korean parents have also invested heavily in their children's education.
Higher Education —— Diversified Management System under Government Supervision
Colleges and universities in Korea include junior colleges, education universities, normal universities, comprehensive universities and graduate schools. , mainly full-time education. Among them, the junior college is 2 years, the education university, normal university and comprehensive university are 4 years, and the medical university is 6 years. The master's and doctoral courses of graduate school must be completed within 2-3 years. South Korea's universities are divided into three management systems: national, public and private. All public and private institutions of higher education must accept the supervision of the Ministry of Education.
Vocational College: Provide 2-3 years education courses for high school graduates. Private education plays a vital role in Korean higher education. More than 85% of vocational colleges are private. Practical education is the focus of all kinds of vocational colleges, aiming at training technicians who master technical theory and basic skills. The subjects students choose determine their study for two or three years. With the rapid development of economy, in order to meet the social demand for technical talents, various colleges and universities pay more attention to practical skills than theoretical courses.
Universities: Colleges and universities offer courses of 4-6 years, the latter including medical schools and dental schools. 85% of Korean higher education universities are private. There are two semesters in a year, and tuition is paid by semester. Private universities are obviously more expensive than public universities. Universities in South Korea all implement the credit system, and students can obtain their bachelor's degrees only after completing the corresponding credits during their school days. University courses are divided into: basic courses (equivalent to public courses in China) and specialized courses, in other words, compulsory courses and elective courses.
Master and doctor: In Korea, it is relatively easy to get a higher degree after graduating from university, such as a master's degree or a doctor's degree. They pursue the teaching philosophy of "lenient entry and strict exit" and adopt a relaxed admission policy to ensure that more students get quality education. At the same time, they strictly examine the quality of graduation thesis of those students who want to get master's or doctoral degrees, and comprehensively improve the academic level of graduate students. In addition, master's and doctoral programs must be completed within 2 ~ 3 years.
