| Since its inception in 1972, Korean Educational Development Institute (KEDI) has been playing the role of Korea¡¯s ¡®think tank pioneer and innovator¡¯ for the past 38 years, while developing Korea¡¯s education into an advanced, modern education system. At the time of KEDI¡¯s founding, a national education program was developed and implemented, which has been at the heart of Korea¡¯s schools. Furthermore, KEDI has been in the pivot of developing Korea¡¯s education system and welfare, education facilities and environment, and other educational sectors. In the era of globalization, KEDI has been at the forefront by increasing global awareness of Korea¡¯s education by sharing its experience in educational development with other countries and also releasing information and experiences of foreign countries to Koreans. |

And now, using the experiences accumulated from our past accomplishments and efforts, KEDI conducts scientific analysis and develops appropriate policy measures to meet Korea¡¯s current educational issues such as lowering the expenditure of private tutoring, improving the achievement level of students, increasing autonomy in schools, and enhancing the quality of university. We also plan on fortifying our efforts to discover and develop individuals that are rich in ¡°honest character and humanitarianism,¡± traits that are the global standards of education. Adding to those efforts, we will also develop a new education system that cultivates skills and competencies required for the future, and to make this all possible, we will put in the necessary efforts to devise a policy that will utilize everything our society has to offer.
Moreover, KEDI strives for the virtuous cycle of education by conducting researches focusing on discovering Korea¡¯s educational policy agenda, developing a feasible alternative plan for the policies, executing policies effectively, and evaluating the policy results. KEDI will also expand international network to include, but not limit to sharing data, conducting joint studies, and trading talent, in hopes of one day raising KEDI to become one of the top research institutions of education in the world.
We appreciate your continued interest, support, and encouragement. Thank you.
