- Abstract
- A serious predicament of the Korean education system is its inability to provide
individual students with a structured and systematic opportunity to identify and develop
their special abilities. Plagued with curriculum and assessment policies which force
students to cram simple facts by rote, the education system has rather impaired the
realization of individuality, uniqueness, and creativity. For instance, based on the
overwhelming emphasis on linguistic and logical-mathematical abilities, the education
system often abandons students with other talents as lost causes and chokes other
performance abilities from flourishing.
Fortunately, the 7th Curriculum Development offers hope that such an educational
reality could be amended in the near future. Aiming to improve the quality of
education, it pursues to develop a more individualized and diverse curriculum for
Korean schools.
