Overseas Koreans Education Portal
“Education information for overseas Koreans”
About 7 million Koreans live abroad (as of Dec 2024). Overseas Koreans make up a vital population not only because we share the same DNA but also because they contribute to expanding the Korean education community and international human resources.
To develop a competitive pool of talents, it is imperative to create an environment that promotes a win-win partnership between educational institutions at home and abroad and to introduce systematic approaches to provide educational services for the younger generation of overseas compatriots.
In this vein, the Korean government introduced the Act on the Educational Support for Overseas Korean Nationals and is providing overseas Korean nationals with schooling and lifelong education services equivalent to those provided in Korea.
There are 34 Korean Schools in 16 countries and 47 Korean Education Centers in 22 countries (as of April 1, 2026).
These overseas educational institutions are leading efforts to advance education for overseas Koreans by promoting national identity and solidarity, helping them adapt to local environments, and strengthening collaboration with educational institutions in Korea to provide relevant educational services. In addition, they promote Korean language education for non-Koreans who are interested in Korean language and culture.
The Overseas Korean Education Portal (OKEP) provides a platform where users can easily access educational resources offered by overseas educational institutions and where faculty members can share teaching materials, fostering collaboration and enhancing the quality of education.
OKEP is committed to achieving the following goals.
We hope you frequent the portal, gain information and insights, and support our endeavor to advance educational services for overseas Koreans.
Thank you.
