|
|
Hi everyone,
I'm doing research for a conference paper on education in Korea. I remember reading a series of articles last year in one of the English language newspapers that was heavily critical of international schools. The problem is, I can't remember what paper ran it, and I haven't been able to find it on my own.
If any of you have any idea which paper these articles were in, or any other things that talk about Korean perceptions of international schools in Korea, would you mind letting me know? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Lola |

Just use Google Scholar make sure only "newspapers is checked" (otherwise you will pull up too much stuff) and type in "International Schools Korea" for the search. |

Highly critical of International schools, eh? My guess would be that you read that in The Korea Times.
EDIT: Not sure if these were the articles you were talking about but I wasn't wrong Here's two for a start.
1) http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/opinon/2011/03/162_49999.html

In both articles, some of the criticisms are valid. However, there are far too many generalizations being made some of which are quite ridiculous. Finally, I know for a fact that both writers have their own unstated agendas and can hardly be called unbiased. |

Thanks, cfile2! I knew they were out there! Konglishman, I agree that the article is heavily biased, but that's partly what I'm planning to talk about in my presentation, so this is a perfect source for me. |
