Blog Post #5 - Korean education problem

Korean education has some problems. You also remember when you were in middle and high school. Maybe you studied late night because your school pushed you couldn’t go home. Yes that is normal in Korea’s school. I don’t know exactly why we strongly obsess about education. Too much education fee and competition I think that is wrong.

First of all their parents ignore their kids’ characteristic and personality. There are some talented kids. The boy wanted to be a musician, but their parents want their children to be doctor and lawyer. Because of revenue is much more than musician.
This tells you that students just have done study with their parents’ purpose so that they have lived to regret the way.

Second, Korean education has primarily focused on students enter college like prestigious colleges in Seoul. They think that college can guarantee many things such as high social status, decent jobs, financial stability, and a rich and easy life. So they pay lots of money for private tutoring education to enter the colleges. Sometimes families move to certain neighborhoods for better educational conditions. So debt is increasing.

So, what should Korean society do to resolve these problems? Firstly, our society needs to change thinking of children. They are not possessions. We help them to go their own way.
Secondly, job opportunities should be open to every college.

  1. i agree. because the other generation had experienced about poor life and doesn't want to ㅣleave such poverty and want to be rich for this generation, so that kind of way of thinking makes that kind of wierd education philosophy.

    may be it's getting better to change i think..
