Vietnam has the greatest number universities with Korean language and Korean major departments among South East Asian countries. It is anticipated that interest and craze for Korean language will continue to increase by the influence of official economic and diplomatic relationship with Korea and the Korean wave. Therefore, this study tries to look carefully at the needs for Korean Education development by focusing on the needs of current Korean teachers at Vietnamese universities and tries to suggest a direction for improvement. It also tries to investigate a plan by Korean side to deal with the change in the education policy of Vietnam that requires at least three or more PhD or MA holders at all departments in order to increase the quality of Vietnamese education. It is believed that Vietnam will continue to stand high as a center for Korean education in South East Asia by the suggestion of an alternative support strategy to be taken by Korean universities and government institutions through this study so that the new education policy may not become an obstacle to the advancement of Korean language education.
