The Ministry of Education is strengthening strategic partnerships to share Korea’s educational development experience and strengths with countries around the world.

As a result, this year, two national universities—Kyungpook National University and Chungnam National University—signed financial business agreements with overseas universities and expanded into Vietnam and Uzbekistan. In Vietnam, the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) is being used as part of the local university entrance exams, and Korean language textbooks developed by the Ministry of Education have been officially recognized as national textbooks.

Deputy Minister Choeunok stated, "As international demand for Korea’s outstanding education system continues to rise, we must actively support the expansion of Korean education through bold investment. We will do our utmost to push forward with the global expansion of diverse K-education initiatives by resolutely addressing on-site challenges and working in close cooperation with the governments of various countries."
