SKY IS THE LIMIT Do you know Korea has almost touched a 100% literacy rate? And it consistently ranks as a top performer in READING, MATHMATICS, and SCIENCES. Let's dive deep to see how they did it?? 😲 📚 Education is deeply ingrained in Korean culture, with parents placing immense importance on their children's academic achievements. 📚 Parents in Korea closely monitor their children’s academic progress since it is considered the biggest factor that can change fortunes. Academic success is a source of pride for families. Both the government and society take education very seriously. 📚 There is an intense competition to gain admission to the top three universities, collectively known as "SKY: Seoul National University, Korea University, and Yonsei University." Achieving a spot in one of these institutions is considered as the ultimate marker of success. 📚 Students are discouraged from getting into relationships as it is thought of as a source of distraction. Sounds a bit harsh right? 👀 This is how the Koreans achieved the feat in education. It's this system that has created a highly skilled workforce, which forms the backbone of giants like Samsung, Hyundai, and LG. #Korean #Koreaneducation #Koreanlife #university #topUniversity #topeducation #foreigneducation #trends

What is this Korean Philosophy of Inyeon? In your leisure time do you recall those fleeting moments when you accidentally collide with a stranger? We walk past countless people every day, often brushing against strangers or bumping into someone. According to a Korean philosophy, the seemingly trivial encounter has a deeper mystery, suggesting a connection from previous lives. The philosophy of 'Inyeon' (providence or fate), says that even a brief crossing of paths with someone indicates a bond from a previous existence. The idea stems from the Buddhist philosophy of reincarnation, emphasizing the enduring connections we carry through lifetimes. The Korean movie "Past Lives" beautifully illustrates this. It tells the story of two childhood friends who are reunited by destiny after 20 years apart, showcasing how fate weaves people together across time. Inyeon says that there must be a connection spanning 8,000 lifetimes, between two people for them to marry. Truly, a match made in heaven! #korea #koreanphilosophy #koreanblends #koreanworld #kpop #kdrama #koreannews
