Education, a key driving force behind the development
As a nation with limited natural resources, Korea is a vivid testament to the transformative power of 
education, displaying how much individual lives can be transformed, and how rapidly nations can 
develop. There is a clear domestic and international consensus that Korea’s astounding prosperity is 
attributed to the nation’s unwavering commitment to providing high-quality education to its citizens 
under any circumstances.
The Miracle on the Han River was only possible to accomplish because Korea was so passionate about 
education and invested in education.
