Business Introduction
- Global Education City Holds the Key for Solution
In the 2000s, many students in elementary, junior high and high schools started to leave the country to study abroad at a fast speed, causing many social issues as students had difficulties in assimilation after return, fathers had to live alone away from their families to make money, and the country had growing trade deficit due to studying overseas. To address the issues, The korean government started the Global Education City project as an one of key national project.
The goal is not only absorbing the demand for studying abroad, but also establishing an international education hub in Northeast Asia.*Number of students studying abroad: 27,000 in 2001 → 45,000 in 2006
*Balance deficit of studying abroad: $1.06 billion in 2001 → $4.46 billion in 2006 - Paths We’ve Taken
The Global Education City is a residential education city which hosts commercial, residential and public facilities with international schools at the very center. We worked hard to bring in quality schools with a target to attract 3 prestigious private schools from English-speaking countries, and sent letters on investment attraction 4 times to 173 schools around the world and signed memorandum of understanding etc. Finally, 3 schools joined: NLCS of the UK in 2010, BHA of Canada in 2010 and SJA of the US in 2012 which are all currently offering education programs in the Global Education City.
- Best Challenge and Best Achievement
We had the renowned private schools from English-speaking countries of the UK, Canada and the US, and started the challenge to be a global hub of education in Northeast Asia. In 2013 when the schools had first graduates, 92.9% of them were early-admitted by prestigious global universities including Cambridge of the UK, and the schools achieved the highest acceptance rate to global universities in Korea. Up until today, most alumni get admitted to by leading universities around the world, continuing the great track record. Around 4,080 students study in the schools now, and a cumulative total of ₩825 billion in balance deficit was saved.
The Future of Global Education City, Global hub of education in Northeast AsiaWe plan to attract 3 more international schools. The Global Education City will continue to evolve to be the top-class education city where everyone wants to live for the attractive living conditions and advanced global education system.
