Amazing Student: Jonga Lee
Doctoral student Jonga Lee’s passion for K-12 education is inspired by her deep-seated concerns and interests regarding the education system, both in Korea and globally.
“I am driven by a desire to address dehumanizing trends and the challenges faced by students,” said Lee, who studies in the Department of Educational Theory and Practice. “In Korea, despite its global reputation for high academic performance, issues such as standardized testing and intense competition have been pervasive. These factors often contribute to mental health problems and low self-esteem among students.”
