" A nation that forgets its history has no future, " Prime Minister Winston Churchill said and this sentence is very famous and important to say so. It tells us that knowing the history and the past can lead to the present and future development. Most people know this, but they're not doing like it. Let me ask you a question. " What comes to your mind when you think of 'Goryeo'? " Most people, including me, only think very famous or very basic thing like the Goryeo celadon, the Tripitaka Koreana and Wang Geon. Even there are some people who can't think of anything. But as I said above, knowing the past is a priority for the changing present. Goryeo is an excellent period of cultural and educational changes. Through such education of Goryeo, we will be able to achieve and feel many things. So, let's learn about Goryeo's Civil Service Examination and education.

First of all, I am participating three times, Summer Global camp in 2017, Winter Global Camp in 2017, and Summer Global Issue Forum Camp in 2018. But I did not have a chance to connect with this land , because at first I had to choose topic 'Ganghwa's Azalea Festival' and then I participated the camp with the topic 'Compare to korea education with other countries'. For me, the Global Camp, which was held on the 1100th anniversary of the foundation of Goryeo, was a good opportunity to learn about the education of Goryeo, which is very closely related to Ganghwa. That's why I'm also joining this global camp.

Until we chose the theme of ' Goryeo's Civil Service Examination and educational institutions, ' our team was deeply concerned. When asked, ' Why do you think Goryeo is famous? ' Most people refer to cultural heritage. I've never seen anyone say, " It's because of Civil Service Examination " Even I, who is dreaming of education, didn't even think about that. In fact, Goryeo was a very good educational time as the Civil Service Examination started primordially. I reflect on myself for overlooking this point, and we are as a team of interested in education, I wanted to examine the core contents of Goryeo, Civil Service Examination of Goryeo and educational institutions. I also believe that if we research the education of Goryeo, we will find the key to develop our current education as well.

I am ashamed to say that I did not know much about Civil Service Examination and educational institutions of Goryeo. Simply, I knew that there were Gukjagam, hyanggyo, and history. Therefore, I could use this camp as an opportunity to learn more about the basic information and topics of Goryeo's Civil Service Examination and educational institutions to learn the meanings of each system. As I said before, Goryeo introduced the system for the first time. As such, there has been much to learn and great historical achievements.

First of all, Civil Service Examination was the way that select officer and hierarchy thtough the test. These systems made Goryeo more open and diverse people appointed and gradually expanding. In addition, educational institutions have developed a lot. The representative institutions are Royal Academy (국자감) and Local Confucian school (향교) and ‘사학’. These three schools and Civil Service Examination are closely related to each other and have developed together, influencing each other. Through this complex composition, the Confucianism and culture of China were also considered in Goryeo, and the contents of education were changed because of them. Actually, when we looked at the values of the period through classical data, we were impressed with the education level of Goryeo and there are many things to learn a lot.

I unfortunately can't be with my team on the last day. But they trusted me and gave me the position of team leader. I was grateful and sorry for these members, and I was more worried about the last day, so I wanted to try harder. I wanted to help the team as much as I could until the end. First, as a team leader, I supported the team so that they could perform their best with vice team leader . There are many first-grade friends on my team, so I had a lot to help. But I didn't give up and wondered and tried to how to share roles, how I could facilitate communication. Also, I researched materials on the history system of Goryeo and its educational institution, and I were organizing it and explaining it to my team members, and I made a PPT , while considering that how to draw attention to the audience. And I organized the data and upload it to Wikimedia. As I played this role, I tried hard not to hurt my team and I was very happy to have helped them.

Through this camp, I wanted to know more about education in Goryeo. In addition, I looked for materials on Goryeo's Civil Service Examination and educational institutions, thought about the status of Goryeo, and explained it to my friends, hoping that my friends would be interested in it. In addition I have a mind that our country would further develop through the course of researching the histroy of Goryeo. I also hope that our data will make many people in the world are interested in Goryeo through the wiki, and that our data will be of help to many people.
