ABSTRACT
Featherman and Hauser’s (1978) analysis leads the people to conclude that education has been an avenue of occupational attainment for immigrant groups. High educational attainment has facilitated the mobility of some immigrant groups, while lack of schooling has severely impeded the ability of other groups to move up the ranks occupationally. Gibson (1991) asserted that schools in America are of crucial significance in conditioning the encounter between immigrant communities and America. The impact of the Huaqiaos’ choice of Taiwanese universities was immediately felt in their ethnic community, which experienced a population decrease, but there was also a long-term, more complicated effect. Very little research has been done in Korea regarding the Korean-Huaqiaos. In Korea, Huaqiao education is more or less a bilingual education.
