Abstract

With the increase of foreign residents, the number of people acquiring Korean nationality is increasing, and long-term residents such as permanent residence are also increasing. As a result, the number of families staying with children is increasing, and the number of foreign residents residing in Korea is also gradually increasing. Children of foreign residents can be classified into two main types. One is a child of an international marriage family, with a high proportion of Korean-born and Korean nationality. On the other hand, another type is children staying with foreign residents. Most of the children staying with foreign residents, classified as migrant youths, were born abroad, and a high percentage of them retain their foreign nationality. However, in the case of Korean society, the proportion of children of ethnic Koreans is high in the proportion of children of foreign and multicultural children. It is characterized by a high proportion of ethnic Korean children in both domestic and foreign-born types. For this reason, the target of multicultural education policy includes multicultural children, children of foreign residents, and children of ethnic Koreans. Schools with a high ratio of multicultural children, children of foreign residents and ethnic Korean children are designated and operated as multicultural policy schools. This study is based on the analysis of four schools designated as multiculture research schools in 2019 among the multicultural policy schools in Seoul. The four schools are Daedong Elementary School in Daelim-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Guro Middle School in Guro-dong, Chungmu Elementary School in Jangchun-dong, Jung-gu, and Gwanghee Elementary School in Shindang-dong, Jung-gu. This study examines the characteristics of foreign and multicultural students, the proportion and regional characteristics of ethnic Korean children, and the current status of research schools in these four research schools.
