Working with Korea

Korea is a dynamic country with a unique history and rich culture. It is also a powerful focal point in the Asian economic bloc.

 

The Democratic Republic of Korea (originally South Korea) is accessible to Western countries and is an emerging economy where a partnership could be a fascinating experience.

 

Did you know:

• Korean students’ high educational performance has been internationally recognised. Korea ranked in the top 5 in PISA (Math, Reading, Science, and Problem Solving), and TIMMS tests (Math and science).
• Most schools in Korea have access to ICT and high-tech facilities, as early as 2002, every school across the nation has broadband network connection. A well established infrastructure makes it easier to develop various projects.
