The press is showing more interest in Ajou University's Paran Semester, launched last year, as more Korean universities introduce similar programs this year.
On March 23rd, The Joongang Ilbo newspaper explained the objectives and activities of Paran Semester in the past year. A related article featured selected project teams that built a race car, participated in the university musical band competition, produced web dramas, and made hardware for virtual reality games, along with an interview of student participants and related photos.
On March 22nd, The Kukinews also introduced Paran Semester in an article entitled "Student-led semesters are spreading among universities: any mission is possible." The article introduced Paran Semester and some of its tasks, together with an explanation of the background of the program by President Kim.
Earlier on the 9th, The Seoul Economic Newspaper also ran an article entitled 'Universities encourage students to carry out their own missions in addition to attending lectures.' It introduced Paran Semester – when it began, how it is operated, and some of the student tasks – stating that more universities are reflecting student demands into their curriculum.
Hanyang University is currently running Project Semester and Konkuk University introduced Dream Semester, both of which are similar to Paran Semester.
