Academic clique in Korea
[edit]In addition to academic background(학력;學歷), academic clique(학벌;學閥) forms implicit status or power within a particular profession or company or group of people from a particular school. And a term referring to a group that is used to maintain its position or to expand its power.
The university academic level ranked in Korean society is truly a sign that determines the social status of a human being. For example, a graduate from SKY University (Seoul National University, Korea University, Yonsei University) is the same as the modern noble status.[1]
Outline
[edit]In short, it is called academic clique or a phenomenon in which those with the same origin or educational background form an exclusive group in a company or group. Those from prestigious universities account for more than half of their senior officials. [2]This is also a realistic reason why many students choose to repeat the university entrance exam or transfer. Many people criticize the fact that job hunting activities based on academic background, discrimination in the workplace, and the phenomenon of treating people differently depending on the university of origin cause blind competition and creativity[3] among parents and teenagers. There is also a negative aspect in Korean society because it is not possible to use various talented individuals who are intelligent, wise and talented only because of their academic background.[4]
In the case of a company, it is usually dependent on the relationship between the founder's hometown or the owner's university or affiliated bank or related companies. The same goes for civil servants and police.[5]
The substance of education
[edit]It was diagnosed that the results of prestigious college entrance exam, which differ markedly by region and high school, were due to 'decoration method' such as private education, going to a special high school with high tuition fees, 3-7 times higher than that of general high schools, and moving to a neighborhood with high house prices. This is not the student's original ability, "real human capital," but the result of evaluating "appearance human capital" backed by his parents' economic power.[6] Critics point out that "our education and admission system does not identify real talent" and that "if you are not rich, you are at a disadvantage in college entrance." In the case of the Korea Economic Research Institute(KERI, 한국경제연구원), the system of hiring human resources based on academic background through short, simple and mixed knowledge is inefficient, and this is not correlated with absolutely good effects on the company's work and work efficiency, according to the paper.[7]
It is a multiple-choice question that should be eliminated before ranking in Korean education. Multiple choice requires blind memorization, forcing and taming the dichotomous thinking of O/X, withholding creative answers, blocking teachers' autonomy as well, unifying everyone and making the world invisible from various angles. Multiple choice makes it easier to look at the world on one side.[8][9]
Spoon class theory
[edit]The biggest reason why Korean society is called Hell-Joseon lies in the spoon class theory. Gold and silver spoon inherit wealth through inheritance and spend a huge amount of money on private education to go to a prestigious university. Gold and silver spoons monopolize good jobs after graduating from college, and continue their status through peer-to-peer breeding. Their wealth and status are carried back to the next generation.[10][11]
Recognition in Korea
[edit]MJ Flex conducted a survey of design-related workers from May 19 to the end of 2011, asking, "What factors do you think are most unfavorable to employment and transfer?" A total of 320 people participated in the vote, which consisted of seven categories: appearance, academic background, networking, language skills, work ability, economic anxiety, and qualification, with a total of 24.4% of the total votes (52 new recruits, 26 experienced people) ranked first, citing academic background as the most unfavorable factors. 2nd place was work ability (total of 57 people-36 new recruits, 21 experienced people 17.8%), 3rd place was economic anxiety (total of 38 people-16 new recruits, 22 experienced people 11.9%), contacts (total of 35 people-18 new recruits, 17 experienced people 10.9%), language proficiency (total of 26 people-13 new recruits, 13 experienced people 9.9%), certificate (total of 19 people-16 new recruits, 3 experienced people 5.9% ), appearance (total of 18 people-11 new recruits, 7 experienced people), and others (total of 49 people-24 new recruits, 25 experienced people 15.3%).[12]
Unlike in the past, when good universities meant good jobs, the power of domestic academic cliques is getting weaker.[13] The phenomenon is happening everywhere[14], and as the employment crisis and times change, it is changing to focus more on departments, unlike in the past when prestigious universities were important.[15] More and more people are preparing for the civil service exam even after graduating from prestigious universities[16], and more companies are introducing blind recruitment.[17] It is entering an era when prestigious universities do not guarantee success.
Awareness of other countries' academic background
[edit]In India, a diploma from Indian Institute of Technology(IIT) is not just a "graduation from prestigious university." In Indian society, where the gap between the rich and the poor is wide, graduation from prestigious universities is almost the only way out of discrimination and class at once. Therefore, the competition rate for admission is 100 to 1.[18]
In the U.S., top universities are becoming more important. A few years ago, many of America's top students received a good education at a state university near their homes at a reasonable cost to suit their family needs.[19] But recently, most of the top students are hoping for the most prestigious universities in the northeastern part of the U.S.[20]
