Korean government: Recommended to reduce university capacity by 30 to 50%: University bankruptcy era
“Dong-a Ilbo” (May 21st):
An article entitled “University quotas by area should be reduced at once, and should not be a reverse discrimination against universities with excellent results” was posted.
Ministry of Education :
Yesterday, in preparation for the decrease in the school-age population, the number of quotas by area of national universities will be reduced.
Announced a university structural adjustment plan that will eliminate universities with severe financial environment limits.
University quota reduction recommendation:
From 2024, when the first year of high school goes on to university
Divide the whole country into 5 areas including the metropolitan area,
We have decided to recommend 30 to 50% of universities to reduce their quotas by area.
Next year, after selecting a marginal university, we will take three steps of corrective action.
If it is difficult to regenerate, the school will be ordered to close.
School-aged population in South Korea:
The Korean government has a school-aged population
From 110,000 people in 2010
It was predicted to decrease to 7.58 million in 2021.
However, during the same period, the number of universities nationwide has decreased by only six.
“The Korean government has reduced the enrollment capacity, especially at local universities,” said that it caused a crisis at local universities.
84 Marginal Universities:
We should take measures such as merger and integration instead of government orders.
It is said that there are 84 marginal universities.
Since the number of universities (including junior colleges) is 400, 20% are actually on the “bankruptcy line”.
This is what we should call for a voluntary closure of the school.
Korean universities focus on “lectures”:
“Korean universities cannot withstand international competition” is largely due to the neglect of practical studies.
Even in the Faculty of Engineering, They are doing the stupid thing that “practical skills are taught by a cram school in the city.”
“Integrated education that firmly teaches theory and practical skills in four years of undergraduate life” is indispensable.
Korean universities are “too focused on classroom lectures.”
Amount of financial support from the Korean government:
At a university in the metropolitan area of South Korea, the amount of financial support from the government is 2.2 billion yen. Local universities are 1.2 billion yen.
This amount is overwhelmingly small compared to Japan.
Government of Japan financial support:
The amount of financial support of the Japanese government (survey 10 years ago) is overwhelmingly higher than that of South Korea.
Japanese national university
The University of Tokyo’s 87.8 billion yen is the highest, and the lowest is Kanoya Sports University’s 1.4 billion yen.
Japanese private university
The highest is Nihon University at 10.7 billion yen, and the 50th place is Tohoku Gakuin University at 1.2 billion yen.
Given these facts, there is too little financial support for Korean universities.
