Since its founding in 1972, Korea National Open University has been at the forefront of
lowering the barriers to higher education and expanding opportunities for learning.
Korea National Open University which has opened pathways for anyone to learn beyond
the constraints of time and space, has established itself as the cornerstone of lifelong education in Korea.

Today, our society stands at a critical juncture. The rapid advancement of digital technology
and a super-aged society are compelling us to fundamentally reconsider the role of education.
Beyond the mere transmission of knowledge, education must now evolve into a sustainable learning
ecosystem that enables individuals to continuously grow and advance throughout every stage of their lives. This is a transformation that Korea must embrace to move confidently into the future.

Korea National Open University will be committed to meeting these challenges and pioneering
a new model of lifelong education for a new era. By advancing the learning environment
based on AI and digital technology, we will realize a true 'open university' where anyone can grow at
their own pace. We will also extend our presence, growing into a global education platform that serves
overseas Koreans and international learners alike. With a practical, future-oriented curriculum,
we will lead the era in which learning itself becomes your greatest advantage.
We will bring the university to wherever learners are, and open new pathways wherever
learning is needed.

Built upon 54 years of accumulated experience and assets in distance and lifelong education,
Korea National Open University now aspires to go beyond 'educational welfare,' and become a driving
force for 'innovation in educational opportunity'.
We will embrace change without hesitation and stand ever firmer in our responsibilities as a
national university. Your commitment to learning will become the future of our society.
Korea National Open University will be the university that walks closest to you,
accompanying your challenges and growth every step of the way.

Thank you.
