South Koreans eagerly awaiting expansion of KIS in Ho Chi Minh City

The Korean Business Association in the central and south of Vietnam is proposing the government to accelerate the expansion of the Korean International School in Ho Chi Minh City.

According to the association, education facilities for children are one of the priorities of South Korean investors, experts, and employees, who are living and working in the city. Recently, the number of South Korean enterprises investing in Ho Chi Minh City has been increasing, also leading to a rise in education demand.

Approximately 300 South Korean pupils are waiting for school enrolment.

“The existing facilities of the Korean International School cannot meet the demand in the city. The tuitions in other international schools are too high and South Korean pupils cannot study in local schools due to the language barrier," the association stated.

Approximately 300 Korean pupils are waiting for school enrolment. The figure is forecast to increase in the upcoming time because Vietnam is among the top investment destinations for foreign groups moving away from China.

South Korea has remained in the top three largest foreign investors in Vietnam for many years. In the first eight months of 2022, South Korean investors registered $3.5 billion into the nation, accounting for 21 per cent of the total inflows into the country.
