In the Accreditation Assessment of Enrollment Management of Foreign Students, if the FFA retention rate of foreign students is lower than 1%, the school will no longer issue anti-visa numbers, and issue standard admission permits after admission, and directly apply for visas at domestic consulates.
South Korea's Ministry of Education said that "further simplifying the examination procedures for the issuance of visas for foreign students will improve the self-discipline of foreign students in universities." However, the Korean Ministry of Education also stated that "if the FFA retention rate of foreign students exceeds 1% in the new assessment, the simplified visa review procedure will no longer be applicable to this school. That is, the FFA retention rate cannot be improved because of the simplification of visa review procedures. "

Topik 4 offered at graduation can be adjusted to Topik 3. However, studying in Korea is also a prerequisite. South Korea's Ministry of Education said, "Only when the relevant universities provide a one-year Korean training course for foreign students and actively improve the Korean language ability of foreign students, can the requirements for TOPIK's entrance scores be appropriately reduced."
Third, the working hours of international students are extended and medical insurance is compulsory.
International students have to buy insurance! Working hours have been further extended. Medical insurance, which was optional for international students before, will be compulsory in the future.

Fourth, create a "pro-Korea" environment for students studying in Korea.
Kazakhstan and South Korea are further pro-Korea, creating a friendly cultural environment for students studying in South Korea and eliminating "Korea-weariness".

Korean government agencies will also strengthen cooperation to support foreign students to better adapt to the life of studying in South Korea.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Korean students' employment support
International students also have the opportunity to recommend jobs after graduation! Further strengthen employment support for foreign students. At this point, the annual job fair for international students will be held twice a year in the future. In addition, the Korean Ministry of Education is still considering the plan to operate the "contract discipline with employment conditions", that is, to grasp the manpower needs of some enterprises that want to hire international students before operating related disciplines.
South Korea's Ministry of Education said: "I hope the program can alleviate the stagnation of the increase in the number of international students and provide a solid foundation for the majority of international students to grow into pro-Korean talents. International students are also a valuable member of Korean society and will become the driving force for the future growth of Korea. In the future, we will work harder to attract and support foreign students. "
