Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to examine current status, issues, and visions of higher education reform in Korea by focusing
on ‘Brain Korea 21’ (BK21). ‘Brain Korea 21’ (BK21), is a major higher education reform project initiated by the South Korean
government to prepare Korean human resources for the 21st century. ‘Brain Korea 21’ (BK21) aims at fostering world-class graduate schools and high quality scholars by providing funds
to higher education institutions. In this paper, societal, economic and educational changes which led to the initiation of
BK 21 and its implementation processes are described first. Then, some resistance and controversies against BK 21 are discussed.
Major achievements of BK 21 are highlighted and future directions of higher education reform in South Korea are addressed. |
