Korean is one of the 55 ethnic minorities in China who is famous for their persuasion in children’s education. However, along with the development of the society, the decline in the Korean population in China, since Chinese“Reform and Open” policy in 1970’s, has caused a crisis in the education in Korean communities. Education, a vital project of lasting importance, plays an essential role in developing a nation’s sophistication. This paper aims to discover and analyze the possible explanations for the crisis in educational practices in Korean communities in China in order to provide appropriate solutions for the problem. I hope this study will contribute towards future researches in the education of Koreans in China.
