On the first anniversary of his presidency on July 14, President Suh Nam-pyo of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has completed KAIST's internal reform successfully.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare stated that South Korea will have the most aged population in the world by the year 2025. Analysts predict that the number of elderly will reach up to 37.3% by 2050, beating the records of Japan (36.5%), and Italy (34.4%). This means that Korea's older population will be put in the pressure cooker of re-education in order to meet the demands of the global labor market.
On July 5, Seoul Cyber University was selected by the Ministry of Education and Human Resources as one of the best three online universities in the nation, together with Kyung Hee Cyber University and Hanyang Cyber University. The selection, which is considered to be a great feat for an online university that has no campus, was made following a four-month survey of 17 online universities across the nation.
