The purpose of this agreement is to support the high school credit system, which will be fully implemented from 2025, by opening and providing online subject classes to overseas Korean schools, thereby establishing and promoting a cooperative system for building the foundation of the high school credit system and nurturing future talents.

This is the first time a domestic university has partnered with overseas Korean schools to open online courses. It is significant that the high school-university linkage project is not limited to Korea but has expanded its scope overseas.

Son Seong-ho, principal of Ho Chi Minh City Korean International School, said, "I am pleased that the psychology course, proposed by Hankuk University of Foreign Studies during their visit to our school this year, has been opened this semester through close consultation," and expressed expectations that "if various subjects continue to be offered in the future, it will develop into a meaningful high school-university linkage project."

Jung Seok-oh, Director of Admissions at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, stated, "I hope that the support project for the high school credit system will be well established through this agreement and become a good precedent."
