Minister of Education, Science and Technology Ahn, Byung-man has stressed the importance of diversifying the nationalities of foreign students coming to Korea for study.  As reported in the Korea Times, Minister Ahn noted that achieving this goal would have several positive effects, including the cultivation of excellent human resources overseas, the creation of economic added value, and the nurturing of Korea-friendly leaders in other countries.

Minister Ahn also said that the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS), the Korean version of the Fulbright Grant Program in the United States, marks a shift of focus in national policies on foreign students from quantitative expansion to qualitative improvement.
