Location : Dynasty Hall, The Shilla Seoul

Previously the 1st Future Korea Report had focused Low Birth rate and aging society problem with McKinsey & Company. 2nd report was about Job Crisis in cooperation with Bain & Company. Now on 3rd Future Korea Report we derived solution on ‘Remodeling of Education’.

Considering the fact that birth, education, and work is the basic components of life, Korea is now facing serious problems in all three components. Therefore we now emphasize on urgency of remodeling in education and proposed ‘Vision for the Learning Hub of East Asia’.

Especially on our 3rd report to achieve internationalized view and for instructive debate, we obtained support from experienced experts from OECD on analyzing the current status of Korea’s education. Donald Johnston OECD secretary-general had visited SBS and promised to cooperate on programs to help understand social agenda. Following is the sequence of the presentation.
