Attracting international talents in science and engineering has become a national strategic priority, South Korean Vice Premier and Education Minister Choi Koh-jin said at an international conference hosted by the newspaper on the 17th, the Korea Times reported, the Ministry of Education will work with other departments to make Korea the preferred location for global technical talent.<\/p>\n<p>The Education Ministry has 2023 a plan to increase the number of foreign students to 300,000 by the end of the 2027. In order to implement this goal, Choi recently reiterated the plan, stressing that South Korea to become one of the world&#8217;s top 10 study destinations.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, the executive director of Quacquarelli Symonds (QS-RAsiaaPacificific told the conference thatKoreanrean universities were listed in the 2Collegelege and university rankings publishedQSy QS, two are among the world&#8217;s top 50. For the first time, the number of 2024 foreign students has exceeded 200,000.<\/p>\n<p>But he also warned that South Korea still lags behind its main East Asian rivals in international research cooperation. Since 2022, the number of global research partners at South Korean universities has grown by only 29 per cent, while China has more than doubled over the same period. In addition, 32 per cent of Korea&#8217;s international research co-operation output is concentrated in three countries-the us, China and india-underscoring the lack of diversity in its international research network.<\/p>\n<p>The experts believe that if Korean universities want to improve their status in the global competition, they must expand international enrollment, strengthen industry-university cooperation, and form many international education centers nationwide.
