What do we know about Korea? Traditional competition for knowledge of the history of Korea which held in Al-Farabi KazNU

The week of Korean studies at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University began with the traditional event “What do we know about Korea?”. Each year, senior students prepare questions for a competition among freshmen on Korean history. This year, 47 students were recruited at the Department of the Far East. Such a set of students was not long ago in the Department of Korean studies. Among first-year students, almost all students assimilated the basics of Korean history. Now they will have to specialize at different stages of historical development in the centuries-old history of the Korean Peninsula.

The event was organized by senior teachers of the Department Tashkenbaeva B. Zh., Pak T. N., Kydyrbaev B. M.. The organization and funding were prepared with the participation of visiting professor from Korea, Lee Byong Jo.

The preparation of this competition is not random this year. Since within three months, students of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University will have to demonstrate their knowledge of History of Korea at the International Competition, which will be organized by National Institute of Korean History.

Good luck to you freshmen!
