The Korea International Students’ Support Association will hold its second Open Forum on Policy Development for International Students on 10 April to discuss problems facing foreign students in Korea and ways to improve the situation.
The forum will feature presentations by student and university representatives, as well as officials from the education and justice ministries. Philippine-born lawmaker Jasmine Lee will make an opening speech.
Key problems highlighted in preparatory meetings include difficulties with scholarships, in which the scholarships are smaller in practice than what was offered, or only given in return for work that was not explained as a condition before the student came to Korea. Reports Korea Herald.
