Ewha College of Education Earns Grade A in Sixth Consecutive Teacher Training Evaluation
Ewha Womans University’s College of Education achieved Grade A, the highest rating, in the Sixth Teacher Training Institution Capability Evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Education and the Korea Educational Development Institute (KEDI). The College of Education achieved the remarkable feat of earning the highest rating (Grade A) in six consecutive evaluations: not only the sixth (2022–2024) but also the first (1998–2002), second (2003–2009), third (2010–2014), fourth (2015–2017), and fifth (2018–2021).
The Teacher Training Institution Capability Evaluation consists of a comprehensive evaluation of an institution’s educational environment, curriculum, and performance in collaboration with the KEDI in order to support the self-directed improvement of teacher training institutions and to better equip prospective teachers for a career in future education.
The history of teacher education at Ewha dates back to 1915 with the establishment of Korea’s first kindergarten training school and traditions that go back more than a century. Established in 1951 as Korea’s first private college of education, the university’s College of Education is the only comprehensive teacher training institution in the country offering all majors in the fields of kindergarten, elementary, secondary, and special education. It has produced more than 31,100 graduates over the years while playing a pivotal role in teacher education. The College of Education was also selected in 2024 to receive support under the Teacher Training University Reform Initiative organized by the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) and is leading efforts to strengthen AI and digital capacities, lead the transition to a future-oriented teacher training system, and enhance professionalism through synergy between undergraduate programs and the Graduate School of Education.
With the College of Education in the vanguard, Ewha plans to foster teachers who will lead the future of education in a rapidly changing educational environment by proactively enhancing teachers’ capabilities in AI and the digital transformation, personalized learning design, and global cooperation in education, further consolidating its status as Korea’s first, best, and biggest teacher training institution.
