An International Comparative Study: OECD Education and Social Progress (Ⅲ)

This research, as a part of the OECD ESP project, is an international collaboration, which invites OECD member states to participate in. The goal of this research is to investigate diverse variables that have influences in skill forming processes as well as to analyze the cause and effects that learning environment and skills could offer to bring social progress. 'Social progress' in the OECD ESP longitudinal study has a direct relation to the current education policies of South Korea, as it is in line with promotion of happiness of Korean students and its people which is pursued under the Park Guen-hye administration.
