People say that it is better to introduction the foreign schools in Korea than the outflow of foreign currency by language study abroad. However, in the mean time, don’t we make our children being far from their mother culture? What do the foreign schools, which are springing up across Korea, influence to Korean culture identity?
It is true that we need English in the time of global village. But, focusing on only English before wholly understanding mother culture is wrong. Therefore, the foreign schools should encourage students education of Korean language and offer them Korean history class by Korean. Also they have to supply Korean meals more. Teaching native languages to the students from all over the world and keeping their culture identity is important as well as English eduation.
