The Inertia of Korean Education
This session examines why Korea's education system remains stuck, and what's holding back reform. The goal: shift from a system built on competition and selection to one built on individual growth.
Education should come first, then assessment, then selection. In Korea, that order has flipped — selection now drives everything, and passing the test has replaced actual learning as the goal.
Korean education has focused on transmitting knowledge and finding right answers. This topic explores why we need to teach questioning, judgment, and application instead.
