Abstract

This article introduces the development history of China's education model since 1949 and South Korea's education model since the 1950s. In the paragraph, the influence of the two countries’ social culture, economic conditions, and political policies are brought into the discussion of the educational development route. Then, based on China's development model, compare the different experiences of the two countries and explore the possible development direction and potential. In this comparative study, the article points to the relevant success of Chinese education. The leading principles and more radical policies of the revolutionary era have helped the whole nation's primary education and improved the inequality of women's education to a certain extent. For Korean society, there have also vigorously developed basic education and achieved outstanding results in reducing illiteracy. At the same time, they also received guidance from western education policies and assistance from educational materials. This article shows three aspects that have an essential impact on education. First, due to the social influence that men are superior to women, equality of educational opportunities for women in South Korea is challenging. Second, Korean students face higher pressure than Chinese students to obtain admission notices from excellent universities. Third, China and South Korea's economic development must face international economic development. Both countries' success and attention to education will improve the path of sustainable economic development.
