Administrative and Education Reforms Under the Trump Administration and Their Implications for Korea

Seminar on “Administrative and Education Reforms Under the Trump Administration and Their Implications for Korea” Successfully Held

The seminar titled “Administrative and Education Reforms Under the Trump Administration and Their Implications for Korea” was successfully held.

The event examined cases of administrative and education reform under the Trump administration in the United States, and served as a platform to explore ways to restructure government systems and redesign education governance—particularly with a focus on regulatory innovation and strengthening decentralization. In particular, participants discussed practical solutions to improve administrative efficiency and enhance educational autonomy in Korea, centering on proposals such as establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and abolishing the U.S. Department of Education.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who attended the seminar.
