It also plans to complete MOUs in March with the Seoul Metropolitan and Gyeonggi-do Education Offices.

The Graduate School of Education opened in 1967 operates excellent pre- and post-teacher education programs for preschool, elementary, and middle school teachers, and was selected as one of the best graduate schools in the 2016 education institutions evaluation by the Ministry of Education. It was also selected as the best institution in the 2010 nationwide evaluation of graduate schools by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, and the second best in the 2006 evaluation by the Ministry of Education.
