Content: Globalization's impact on education
As society amongst the world’s population continues to evolve and change, it would appear that the ideology of globalization has taken a firm root in many of the reformations that have occurred within different nation’s governmental actions and programs. However, one such area that has been mismanaged has been the reformation of the educational system based upon the idea of globalization. This has lead many nations’ citizens to adopt a feeling of distrust and negativity against their own country’s public, and private, educational system. One such example of this is the Korean education system. To combat the feelings of distrust and dissatisfaction, many parents have taken matters into their own hands in the educational practices of their children by sending them overseas to receive schooling. This possesses several unique challenges for the school aged Korean student that is placed into a new, unknown environment. He or she is faced with the challenges of dealing with an entire new cultural system and is faced with the dilemma of adapting a second, unfamiliar cultural identity in order to gain acceptance. The effect of globalization on the Korean education system can be roughly summed up in the following: because the system in place within Korea has not been adequately kept in line with some of the world’s higher ranked national education systems, parents have moved their children out of the system, which only further detracts from it because the top students are removed from student population. To combat these effects, the Korean government must revitalize their public education system in order to keep their youth from losing their competitive advantage when competing in a global market for top-level jobs.
