In order to expand the enrollment of foreign students, the government has drawn up a reform plan for the certification evaluation system, which will evaluate junior colleges separately and reduce the number of similar indicators to reduce the burden。At the same time, visa issuance will be immediately suspended for up to three years for universities with serious violations。
The core of the reorganization is to adjust the calculation method of the illegal stay rate of foreign students at each university. The current calculation method is the number of illegal stay students ÷ the number of new students at the university = the illegal stay rate, but it will be changed to the number of illegal stay students ÷ the number of foreign students at the university = the illegal stay rate
The Ministry of Education announced that it will hold a public hearing on the draft reform of the fourth cycle (2025-2028) Education Internationalization Certification system in Daejeon and Seoul on Friday and Friday。
Since 2012, the government has implemented the International Education Ability Certification System, which evaluates the quality of international student management in universities every year, including illegal stay rate, dropout rate, language ability, and academic and life guidance。Universities with good management will be accredited, while those with poor management will face visa restrictions。
The reform will reduce the negative impact on universities by changing the basis for calculating the illegal stay rate to current students。
The standard of language proficiency for new students will be gradually raised。The proportion of incoming students who meet the criteria for the Korean Language Proficiency Test (TOPIK) will increase from the current 30% to 40% by 2026。However, those who take language training courses for more than one year will be considered as meeting the standard and will be certified in various ways。
TOPIK Level 2 achievement rate index has been added for long-term language training students who have more than one year。In addition, universities that seriously violate the law and undermine the purpose of the accreditation system will be designated as the subject of enhanced visa review for up to three years, even if they violate the law only once。At present, the sanction period for offending universities is one year。
Education Minister Lee Joo-ho said that through the reform, domestic universities will be supported to recruit more excellent foreign students and enhance the international reputation of South Korea's study abroad。
