I gave a talk about education and culture on June 17, 2012 in front of a group of about one hundred principals of elementary and high schools in Seoul organized by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (\uc11c\uc6b8\uc2dc\uad50\uc721\uccad). This \u201cPrincipals Forum\u201d was the first of its kind, a voluntary gathering of principals from around Seoul to exchange opinions on how education can be improved in Korea.<\/p>\n

There were a series of very moving talks by principals about the battles to contain bullying and promote a strong learning environment.

I will visit one reform school (new school), Sangwon Elementary School, next Monday.<\/p>\n

I spoke about my book \u201cLife is a matter of direction, not speed\u201d and discussed the need to reevaluate the Korean tradition so as to better understand Korea\u2019s own strengths. I was quite impressed by the dedication of the teachers I met to make Korean education stronger and the rousing speech delivered by the Director of Education Kwak Nohyeon (\uacfd\ub178\ud604 \uad50\uc721\uad00).<\/p>\n
