Why is the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development missing a link to English webpages?
Employers Want English, not Korean

English-only education planned in free zones
The Education Ministry has announced more sweeping plans for the country's education system, focused on free economic zones. The ministry and a vocational education institute said yesterday that Korean schools in those proposed economic zones - not the international schools that the government wants to attract there - will begin in 2008 to teach all their classes in English as part of a language immersion program.

Questioning the importance of English
The importance of English in Korean society is beyond argument. If you are good at English, you get extra points when entering university, and if you are not, you might not even graduate from school or even find a job. It is fairly true on many occasions that your Korean is less important than your English when you are looking for employment.

| It makes no sense that there isn't an English web page. It does makes you wonder though. |

| I needed a good hit of irony. Still waiting for the punch line, though. |
