The Korean government is planning to do more to foster provincial universities over the
next five years. The education ministry announced Wednesday
it would dedicate over a trillion won,... or roughly 930-million U.S. dollars,... as
part of a five-year plan to improve provincial universities.
About 60 to 70 universities located outside of urban areas are expected to benefit from
the program, which starts this year. The ministry will accept applications for
the program until the end of April and the universities will be selected in June.
The ministry also said admissions at the participating universities will be cut by 20-thousand at
most.
