1. Reason for revision

In order to improve the settlement conditions of foreign nationals in Korea, it is necessary to improve the educational environment of their children. To ensure the stable establishment and operation of foreign schools, the revision aims to allow foreign schools to lease the property of organizations invested in or contributed by state or municipal governments, public institutions, school corporations, and public interest corporations for use as the school's grounds and facilities.

In addition, the current regulations are to be revised to clarify the criteria for administrative dispositions and the application of aggravated penalties according to the number of violations in the event that a foreign school repeatedly violates the law.
