How successfully students of 6 Special High Schools and Meister High Schools get a job

After my article was released, Korean media professionals rushed to Bubsung High School to cover them into their own and even Japanese business start-ups came to Korea to benchmark the school. My story's sudden fame brought me a great confidence as well. 

My book was born based upon these backgrounds. Since Bubsung High School, I have pondered over how to engage myself in other cases of exemplary special high schools and meister high schools.

Bubsung High School's story is something more than good news. I was obligated that the public has a right to appreciate this trivial, but meaningful success story. 

In fact, the story imminently showcased a negative impact from Korean hakbulism(academic cliquism) which resulted in discrimination and alienation against graduates of special high schools and fierce competition in resume management to college graduates, I believe.

The online shopping mall launched less than a year ago has monthly revenue of 10 million Korean Won could be surprising news to anybody. In other words, it was such a great news source that could quench thirst of curious journalists like me who's been longing for something unique to write. 

My visit to Bubsung High School turned out to be a great anecdote. When I paid a second visit to the school 8 months later, Bubsungmall even reached revenue of 100 million Korean Won per annum.

Back in spring in 2009 I was still a journalist. I had a dinner with professionals from an IT solution firm which built online shopping malls for special high schools in Korea. Discussions and chats related to a special high school named 'Bubsung High School' were brought upon to these folks. 

It is located in Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do where it boasts the largest production of dried yellow corvinas in Korea. Teachers and students of Bubsung High School, via online shopping mall called 'Bubsungmall', sold dried yellow corvinas and other local products nationwide. 

Advent of the Era of the AEC and Its Impacts on Singapore and Indonesia(53)

Comparative Study on the Perception and Response of Singapore and Indonesia

Although local perspectives on the AEC mostly extracted from the publications cited above are utilized as primary sources of my argument, this paper may be potentially exposed to criticisms designating lack of real comments on the spot. I can't help agreeing this view and admitting drawbacks of my research to some extent. 

In this context, I will try to allocate more time in listening to the ASEAN's opinions to have my research upgraded. Needless to say, plentiful hands-on experiences to check real-time developments of the AEC would provide my succeeding papers with more colorful and up-to-date judgements in the region.
