Education System :india - Korea

INTRO DUCTION

India and Korea are two Asian countries separated by vast continental landmass. Being oriental countries, the two nations share certain common oriental values like the attitudes towards the family certain social institutions, certain moral values and things like that which are distinct to Asian culture.

India has a long history of organized education. The Gurukul system of education is one of the oldest on earth but before that the guru shishya system was extant, in which students were taught orally and the data would be passed from one generation to the next.Like other East Asian countries with a Confucian heritage, South Korea has had a long history of providing formal education. Although there was no state-supported system of primary education, the central government established a system of secondary schools in Seoul and the provinces during the Choson Dynasty.

It is important to note that a colonial legacy, which marred both India and Korea for long-time, created an elaborate system of exclusionary education aimed at nurturing a privileged minority willing to play a second fiddle in the grand imperial project of Britain and Japan. This type of education system widened preexisting elitist tendencies of the past era. It effectively created a thin lair of aristocracy, which clearly saw its interest converging with the colonial system.

Independence from the colonial oppression brought an opportunity to redefine. Governments in both countries gave priority to heavily subsidize education and initiated many programs to make people aware of the value of education. Active state involvement created set of policies to enhance and upgrade national educational infrastructure. These efforts led to the rise of school enrolments, opening of new schools and universities, and the widening of education opportunities in remote areas.
