The Minister further commented,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur government believes that the government should be responsible for the education of the country\u2019s children from pre-school education to tertiary education. The government must definitely intervene in school education. We also believe that the necessary means and facilities should be provided to those who go beyond it. The appropriate environment for building a manufacturing and service economy should be created through education. We should intervene to regulate higher education institutions to secure the quality and standard of education. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe, as a government, are committed to creating this environment through new education reforms. We are working to prioritize providing quality education, student welfare, updating curricula, introducing new curricula, implementing international student exchange programs, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
