South Korean universities remain challenging places for foreign students and faculty
Promotion of the development by the process of international integration arising from the interchange of world of higher education, more than 4.5 million international students studied overseas in year 2012, greater number become twice the quantity of students a period of ten years earlier. Although foreign countries such asUnited States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, France and Germany are still the important places that organized half of international students all around the world, many countries which normally choose the students to study to other foreign countries have begun accepting them in past ten years particularly in Asia.
This broad style has been following by South Korea which is ranked third in the quantity of international students and the leading Asian countries are China and India. However, in year 2014, the quantity of international students in Korea stretched outto 84,891 and majority of these students came from China and other Asian countries like Vietnam and Mongolia. The instructors in Korean universities have expanded from 1,373 which is equivalent to 2.4% in 2000 to 6,034 which is equivalent to 6.8% in 2014. Even though the statistical data remain comparatively low than the rate in Europe and North America, they contribute an important impact to the community of Korea which has a percentage of 97% to racial homogeneity.
The developing activities of students and teachers all around the community clearly build up more culturally different colleges and universities. These changes resulted to important actions in the US and Europe to produce a culture of honor for a range of different things and a body recognizably distinct, although with much geographical and country-level difference in circumstances and techniques. Europe has constantly expressed in discussions the significance of “interculturality”, “diversity” and respect for the distinction of cultures in relation to higher education.
