Education Is Not All About Getting a Job
Education Is Not All About Getting a Job
February is ``education month'' in Korea. Graduations and admissions take place in this month each year. Teachers are busy planning for their next school term, and students are playing as hard as they can in preparation for the months of study ahead. It is, therefore, reasonable for us to take a step back during this season and consider what ``education'' means here.

Green and Great Korea
Green and Great Korea
With all the distractions of a global economic crisis and oil falling from almost $150 per barrel in July 2008 to $30 to $40 five months later, the dynamic of becoming green and great may seem less urgent. But in the future, this two to three year breathing space for the planet, and for the world economy, may be seen as the perfect gift to mankind's future and a chance for Ko...

Advanced Korean Military Reaches Out to the World
Advanced Korean Military Reaches Out to the World
The Lee Myung-bak administration, which set sail in February 2008, seeks to develop Korea into ``a Country that Stands Tall in the World Through Advancement.'' It is committed to realizing a ``Global Korea'' that fulfills its roles and responsibilities in the international community.

Time to Get Back to Basics of Real Economy
Time to Get Back to Basics of Real Economy
Suddenly the world around us has fallen apart. Twelve months ago, oil prices were rising to record levels, and the prices of minerals and numerous foodstuffs were going through the roof, reflecting strong demand outpacing supply. Today demand for goods and services seems to have almost dried up and the word you can hear most often is ``depression.''

Financial Industry Should Be Next Growth Engine
Financial Industry Should Be Next Growth Engine
Feb. 25 marks the end of the first year under the administration of President Lee Myung-bak. If I were to pick the government ministry that had been the busiest year so far, I would be tempted to say that it was the Financial Services Commission (FSC). Indeed, looking back, it almost seems as if we spent several years, not one, dealing with a wide array of urgent, yet complex...

Allies Need Common Stand on Military Ties, N. Korea
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak's first year in office has been a rocky one when it comes to Republic of Korea-U.S. relations (and more generally speaking).

Autonomy, Diversity Key to School Competitiveness
Autonomy, Diversity Key to School Competitiveness
As a key policy, the Korean government has been annually expanding investment in public education over the decades. However, public satisfaction for school education still remains rather low. Many students continue to rely on private tutoring, and a growing number of youths are seeking overseas studies for English proficiency. Problems lie not only in the high rate of private...

Defense Industry Is New Economic Growth Engine
Defense Industry Is New Economic Growth Engine
The defense industry is a national security asset that assures the sovereignty of our nation from external threats. The ability to produce needed weapon systems with our own technology is important, not just for fostering the domestic defense industry but for creating jobs.

Culture to Unite People for Overcoming Economic Slump
Culture to Unite People for Overcoming Economic Slump
The economic crisis is widely spreading across the world. Korea and other major countries are sparing no efforts in overcoming it. What draws fresh attention during the process is ``culture.'' There may seem to be no relation between culture and the economic crisis, but the fundamental way to cope with it comes from culture because it heals people's painful hearts. During the...
