前往南韓留學要注意學校經營狀況!位於慶尚北道慶州市的「新慶州大學」,在面臨破產倒閉的情況下採取大量招收國際學生的策略,但校方並未申請能夠簡化學生辦簽證的國際化教育認證,導致許多想來就讀的國外人士赴韓簽證被拒,總計有300多人、20億韓元(約新台幣4700萬元)的學費沒被退還。

據《朝鮮日報》報導,私立新慶州大學前身為「慶州大學」,本身就面臨學生人數下降、拖欠薪水的問題,教職員工於2022年向政府申請學校破產。不過,慶州大學創辦人出面推動和慶州市內「徐羅伐大學」合併,聲稱這能挽救情況。

請繼續往下閱讀...

兩校於2024年完成合併後,採取積極招收國際學生的做法,國際學生從2023年的8人增至2024年112人、2025年476人,今年第1學期594人(南韓第1學期為3月)。

不過,南韓教育部官員透露,新慶州大學今年沒有申請國際化教育認證,可能是知道自身不符合認證標準,就自行放棄申辦了,但這也使得許多國際學生拿不到簽證。

值得注意的是,新慶州大學向法院提交的破產重整申請,已在8月獲得批准,校方打算再招收1000多名國際學生,目前已進行第2學期的招生活動。

新慶州大學表示,先前由於進入破產管理階段,導致學校資產遭到凍結,因此無法退還來不了的國際學生學費,等到完整重整計畫11月提交給法院後,就可以恢復退費,並確保新錄取的國際學生可以拿到簽證。

除了新慶州大學之外,位於濟州島的「濟州國際大學」,今年第1學期更是只有3名新生,其中1人還去服兵役。這間私立學校大約20年前就因學校資金遭到挪用而陷入困境,2019年被政府列為限制財政援助大學,目前拖欠薪資高達340億韓元(約新台幣8億元)。

濟州國際大學已將宿舍、果園農地掛牌出售,但目前仍未找到買家,南韓教育部轄下專責扶持私立教育的「私學振興財團」,認為濟州國際大學已難以經營,連續2年建議學校關閉,但濟州國際大學7日仍透過「提前招生」吸引365名新生,提前招生指的是不透過大學入學考試,而是以高中成績、就學資料、校方自辦考試等方式入學。

據了解,南韓針對私校的新法已於上個月生效,賦予政府直接讓經營不善大學退場的權力,但由於教育部尚未展開審核,預計到明年8月才能完成財務診斷報告,屆時才能真正動用新法。

對此,南韓教育專家強調,這些面臨經營危機的大學可能很快就會倒閉,學生應該避免申請入學。

Want to drop out of school because your roommate’s college entrance examination ranking is low? Wake up!

Xu Yangsheng, president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), revealed that some freshmen wanted to drop out of school because their roommates’ college entrance examination rankings were 10 times different.

Taipei City’s first week of free nutritious lunches: food safety concerns: 87 students suffer from diarrhea

Taipei City will implement a comprehensive free nutritious lunch policy for public and private primary and secondary schools this month. However, less than 10 days after the start of the road, an incident involving a suspected sour lunch in Chengyuangao, Datong District, in central China occurred on September 7, causing 87 students to have diarrhea. Media person Zhan Lingyu pointed out that after an investigation by the Health Bureau, it was found that there were five sanitation deficiencies in the supplier's kitchen, including obvious problems such as dirt under the refrigerator, water on the floor, and dirty shelves. He questioned that the usual inspections were just a formality. She emphasized that free lunch is a good policy, but free does not mean casual, nor does it mean that something can happen.
