The foundation of Korean society is based on close family and national unity. And this unity was preserved, among other things, by the work invested in learning. After the Japanese oppression and the Korean War, the country needed stability and rapid reconstruction. The development of the education system was among the first, and today it already holds a leading role in the OECD rankings. In recent decades, numerous curriculum modifications have been implemented, and textbooks have been made digitally available, sparing no financial resources. However, the main aspect of history education has always remained one: preserving identity. To preserve it from the oppressor, to keep national values open to multiculturalism. The study aims to show how all this can be supported by history education. In the light of national curricula, can a conservative education be realized that serves the survival of nations in a globalizing world with modern methodology and tools?
