Is it necessary for elite colleges and universities to exist? Is there really a problem of educational inequality?
According to this report, many critics point out that the gap between the rich and the poor in South Korea is widening, which is related to the existence of elite schools. South Korean Minister of Education Liu Enhai announced at a press conference in Seoul. From March 2025, all independent private schools, foreign language schools and international schools will be changed into ordinary schools. ? I attach importance to the public's concern about the social class differences caused by the educational gap. It is said that the Korean government recognizes and allows the existence of private aristocratic schools to meet various educational needs. But in recent years, more and more people think that the enrollment rate of these private middle school graduates entering famous universities is much higher than that of ordinary public schools. In Korean society, these private schools have gradually become the target of public criticism, because they have good diplomas, which can determine their future, such as employment and marriage prospects. According to the new regulations, from 2024, private secondary schools will maintain their status as special education institutions and can be registered. But from March 2025, these schools must recruit new students like ordinary schools, but they can keep their own school names and professional subjects. According to statistics, there are 79 private universities in South China, with students accounting for 4% of the total students. There are 1555 colleges and universities with 165438+ 10,000 students. Education authorities in many big cities in South Korea welcomed this, but elite schools and parents condemned the government's decision. Cao, an education supervisor who has always advocated the abolition of elite schools, said: I think today is a day to move towards a balanced and diversified high school education system. ? However, the Korean Federation of Teachers' Associations believes that when the government makes such a decision, it just stays on the declaration of giving up all kinds of schools. The alliance said in a statement:? This is not in line with the development direction of developed countries. In other words, in the era of Industry 4.0, various high-level educational opportunities were provided according to students' wishes and abilities. Jin Zhejing, president of an independent private school in South Korea, said: It is actually a retrogression to abolish independent private schools in the name of fairness. ? . ? The result of the irresponsible decision of the government will ultimately be borne by students and parents, resulting in confusion and contradictions. This will only aggravate. "
