Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify the motivation and reasons of the early study abroad students in Korea and to analyze the issues and challenges of the Korean students and parents who experienced the early study abroad. In addition, the study is aimed to provide policy recommendations about the early study abroad for the Ministry of Education of Korea which supported the survey. From August 31 to September 20 in 2017, a survey supported by the Ministry of Education of Korea was implemented. Survey questionnaires were distributed to elementary schools, middle school and high schools mainly located in Seoul and Gyeonggi province in South Korea. In total, 57 schools participated in the survey. Students and their parents who stayed and studied at least for more than a year in foreign countries were main respondents. Also, teachers who taught the early study abroad students in those schools, the governmental officials who are involved with the early study abroad students and general college students responded to the survey. The study would analyze the responses of the survey about the early study statistically using multiple regression and suggest future policies about the early study abroad students. The study can make a significant contribution to policy recommendation as the study focuses on people who are involved with the early study abroad and provide in-depth insights about the early study abroad policies.
