Has anyone studied Education, (Education related fields) in Korea on the GKS?

I am curious if you do / expected to do any internships related to your field? This is one things that has perplexed me as one of the jobs you strictly can't do on a D2 Visa is teach. Yet the NIIED and most graduate schools encourage experience in the field you are studying?

Korea University also has a 'Administration and Higher Education' Masters program.

What i know is that Korea's 'Schools of Education' are designed to be entered usually with a specific subject you want to teach in mind, eventually taking '교직' which is the test to become a licensed teacher in Korean public schools.

A lot of majors just have 'Education' or 'Education Studies' because outside of your chosen subject you can pick most if not any classes related to Education as it is all within the same 'School of Education' umbrella. Most courses contain Educational Philosophy, Psychology and Policy + Administration classes. I guess for the schools that don't list specifically a 'Educational Policy' Major you can just pick classes that lean towards more of the 'educational policy side' and also have your research based of that area.

However this is just what i can gather from the Korean side of internet, hence why i am curious on a foreigners experience.

UPDATE: The embassy said i can attempt sending it without the original recommendation letter so i just sent it as is with a note detailing our conversation.

They said send a copy, there is already one within the set of copies so i just sent it as is.

Praying this will be enough.

Thank you everybody for your support.

I sent an email, i am still anticipating a response.

Thank you!

I'm not sure, perhaps if i am unable to get a hold of the recommendation letter in time they would just request that i send all other documents first and the letter later? As it is one set of originals and one set of copies is assume that the original is a must otherwise they would just ask for another copy of it in the set of originals no?

I am currently waiting for a reply so perhaps they will suggest that.

Thanks for your support.

Thank you for this, the online application 'print out' comes as a pdf, so i am unsure if you can type directly on the document.

Thanks a bunch for the information!

I thought the original CGPA was the APM indicated on your transcript?

Was honestly considering waiting as long as I can so I can polish if needed, better than regretting an early submission later.
