PETITION OF APPROVAL
To the Director of the Korean Ministry of Science and Technology Education:
Currently, Ewha Girl’s High School is in the process of applying for certification as an independent private school. This letter is a petition to show the widespread support for the certification and a request to expedite the process. Certification as an independent private school is necessary for Ewha Girl’s High School for the following reasons:
1. In 1886, Ewha, founded by Mary Scranton, was Korea’s first chartered private school for women.
2. Ewha’s philosophy is rooted in the principles of freedom, love, and peace under which an individual is encouraged to share her abilities to help others.
3. Ewha’s strong foundations have lead to superior facilities and educational quality since its beginnings.
4. Although Ewha has expanded from its beginnings as a general educational institution to include a fine arts institution as well as a foreign language high school, the collective voices on this petition show an increasing desire to build further upon Ewha’s prestigious history.
5. Through a strong endowment, Ewha has provided opportunities for many students who could not afford an education to learn in the best environment and to benefit society upon graduation.
Our goal is to witness a world of individual and institutional diversity, a world of justice, love, and peace, and a world where education enables students to benefit the lives of the less fortunate. We are confident that you will share and support our vision and respectfully this petition for your review.
