Welcome to the English website of the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology.

The fields of education, science and technology are the key to the future of our nation. Not only that, the success of our future generation hinges upon these three critical fields.

In recognition of this, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST) will do its best to ensure that all of our children are not left behind and have an opportunity to nurture their dream and hope through education, science and technology.

Furthermore, we plan to establish the efficient education and research systems to cultivate the outstanding talents of Korea as the prominent scientists and engineers recognized by the world. The policy support will also be expanded to encourage many talented people to seek the career paths related to science and technology as well as to enable scientists and engineers to demonstrate their capacity with pride.

In the coming years, MEST will concentrate more on ensuring that the existing policies take firm root rather than developing new policies. To attain this goal, we will communicate more with those who are working in the education, science and technology sectors with an open-minded attitude.

In the same context, we hope that this website will serve as a channel of communication with each and every one of the Korean public so we can hear their voices on education, science and technology.

Thank you.
