Dozens of Universities Have Trouble Recruiting Students
By Kwak Soo-keun | April 28, 2021 08:34
Eighty-four private universities have problems recruiting new students, which means they could end up broke before their current students have graduated. Many more provincial universities are unable to meet their annual student quotas due to the declining population and student preference for Seoul.
According to a report by the Korean Educational Development Institute, the 84 universities' finances are so bad that they can no longer operate normally and conduct proper academic research.
Sixty-two of them are outside the capital. South Chungcheong Province had the most failing universities with nine, followed by North Chungcheong Province (eight), North Gyeongsang Province (eight) and South Gyeongsang Province (six). Ninety-four of them are private universities that need to make a profit.
"Unlike the past, when corruption and nepotism were the main causes of problems at universities, population and social changes have emerged as the main reason for the increase in failing universities," the report said.
It added that the trend will only get worse and advised the government to help them close by reimbursing some of the owners' investment.

느낀 점
Many more provincial universities are unable to meet their annual student quotas due to the declining population and student preference for Seoul(더 많은 지방 대학들이 인구 감소와 서울에 대한 학생 선호도 때문에 연간 학생 할당량을 채우지 못하고 있다)라는 문장을 보고 안타깝다는 생각을 했다. 왜냐하면, 요즘 학생들은 막강한 입시 경쟁률을 뚫고 지방보다는 서울에 있는 대학들을 많이 선호하는 거 같아 보여 지방에 있는 많은 대학이 사라지는 것 같기 때문이다. 그래서 지방에도 좋은 대학교가 많이 있으니 눈여겨봐야겠다는 생각을 했다.
