Yanbian is known as the “hometown of education”. In the 50 years since its founding, Korean education in Yanbian has made remarkable achievements under the guidance of the party’s ethnic policy. In the process of reform and development, Korean education has formed a national education system with complete categories, complete levels, interconnectedness, coordinated development, high level and distinctive characteristics from early childhood education, general primary and secondary education, secondary vocational education to higher education. Yanbian Korean education started early, good foundation. As early as the 1960s, enrollment rates in primary and secondary schools exceeded 90%. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the pace of popularization of basic education was markedly accelerated. In 1992 and 1993, the task of popularizing primary compulsory education and the basic elimination of illiteracy among young and middle-aged people were completed. Through the arduous struggles of the entire state, In 1997, nine-year compulsory education was basically popularized as scheduled according to the plan, realizing the long-cherished wish of several generations. On the basis of basically fulfilling the task of universal compulsory education, Yanbian Prefecture put the promotion of quality-oriented education in a prominent position. In accordance with the actual conditions in the minority nationality areas in the border areas, Yanbian Prefecture actively explored the combination of theory and practice. In particular, taking the bilingual education reform of primary and secondary schools in Korea as a breakthrough point, we have conducted experiments in the reform of ethnic education throughout the state. After more than 10 years, we have achieved fruitful results. In the new century, we have come up with one that is both in line with the national education and teaching development. It has laid a solid foundation for the new path of Yanbian Korean education.
