The president's greeting

Greetings! I am In Mo Jung, assuming the role of the 12th president of the Korean Association for General Education in 2024.

The importance of general education in university education is increasing day by day. In the current era, as new students enter universities during the transition to the undergraduate university system, general education at universities is becoming even more crucial as an educational process for equipping them with the necessary skills. In the current era, colloquially referred to as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the role of university general education extends to the critical task of instilling essential values that humanity must embrace in the future. General education is expected to spearhead the generation of new knowledge, underscore foundational academic disciplines encompassing humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and the arts, and steadfastly adhere to its mission by fortifying integrative, creative thinking, and communication competencies.

We express our sincere gratitude to our predecessors who wholeheartedly devoted themselves to advancing general education in South Korea, and to all our esteemed members who ardently engaged in multifaceted activities. Although an inexperienced person has taken on the role of the president of the Korean Association for General Education, I believe that with the active participation and cooperation of our members, our association can continue to move forward in the right direction without wavering. We will strive to elevate the quality of general education through various academic events and the publication of academic journals, fostering greater activation of general education in universities, solidifying its status. We wish everyone in the association good health and success in their academic pursuits.

Thank you.

January 2024
In Mo Jung,
12th President of the Korean Association for General Education
