Migrant workers’ children face discrimination in South Korea | Washington Times Communities

Migrant workers’ children face discrimination in South Korea | Washington Times Communities: "SEOUL, May 31, 2012 -  Yoo Hyung Geum opened Mongol School to educate the children of migrant workers from Mongolia and to restore their hope and future. Many Mongolian migrant workers bring their children when they move to South Korea to work.  Culturally, it is more important for Mongolian children to live with their parents than to continue their education in their country. Many Mongolian children, after arriving in South Korea, have limited access to public services, including free education in South Korean schools.

Having served migrant workers’ communities in South Korea for more than decades, pastor Yoo understands the mundane struggles of migrant workers and their children in South Korea. He has witnessed all kinds of exploitation of migrant workers by their Korean employers."
