South Korea's economy is driven by export-led growth. Given that South Korea does not have significant natural resources, its human capital is its most important resource. Education is therefore highly regarded by Korean societies. Emphasis is placed on the importance of having a diverse, well- educated workforce, and during the past few years, the South Korean government has concentrated on the potential challenges and opportunities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and what skills would be needed for the country to best take advantage of the opportunities and mitigate potential threats.
