Due to the fact that the quality and professionalism of any system of education is determined by this very reality, it is essential for education to have been well-orginated in order to accomplish realistic goals that lead to self-investment. The Korean educational system has supplied its young generation with high level of competence and abilities which allowed them to compete with top students around the globe. Beyond this, in accordance with Adam (2018) South Korea's literacy is the one of the highest in rating reaching 89% in total. Korean educational success is seen as matter of its curriculum, class size as well as educational approaches. Sorensen (2015) claims that the traditional Korean educational system does not take into account the practical necessity to educate an effective labor force because it must cater to the desires of students and parents, but rather promotes upward mobility through education.
It is indicated that the Korean education system as in any countries is divided into five levels:
- pre-school
- primary education
- secondary education
- higher education
- continuing education
Based on external sources it is claimed that South Korea uses 6-3-3 method. South Korea's compulsory education educations lasts 9 years which contains 6 year in primary education, three years of secondary education, three years of upper seconary education which is provided by highschool and it is not completely mandatory. South Korean educational system the national curriculum which was generated and promoted by the Ministry of Education.
Reasonable factors contributing successful education in Korea
[edit | edit source]An economy

The Economy of South Korea is growing and presenting consistently benefits. It is becoming fruitful for people who are involved in this country. It is not only important to grow politically and socially, but also to show educational development in order to keet its rate in the international ranking anually as well as be ahead of the rest countries.
Philosophy
[edit | edit source]Based on article written by Dr Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuong , Dr Hoang Thu Trang (2023), one of the resonable factors which contributed the success of Korean education is bringing philosophy which have to be suitable for people's conditions and needs, as well as endless efforts to implement that very philosophy in real life. Education system in Korea is operated under the guidline of "Education to change fate" principle. One of the main purposes of Korean education is to make positive changes in lives of its nation for their betterment, increase the level of their competence and transform successful long life learners.
Digital Literacy
[edit | edit source]Education and technology is becoming inseperable in our lives. Digital Literacy has its role of promoting Korean education system. Inaccordance with Jang (2020) literacy skills are essential abilities for utilizing technology. And digital lieracy can assist with functional usage of technology. It is evident that technology is being integrated in many educational organization for students' academic needs, since everthing is turning to be digitalized. Reality has proven that successful educational accoplishments of South Korea is regarding to current digital literacy.
I assume that implementing as well as integrating digtal literacy and philosophy into life of students in Uzbeskistan may result in great positive changes. Since, it results in directly on their desire to use technology for sake of their learning needs. Bringing philosophy and digital literacy to education context can ultimately enhance student's academic performance, habits, and effort expectency. Beyond this, student will start to have reasonings and critical thinking abilities making them sustainable for future work force. The ability to think logically, analyze and solving problems are also promoted by application of both positive sides.
