Education system


The mode of education in South Korea is that it consists of 6 years in primary school, 3 in both middle and high school and 4 years in college. After all that, students can choose to go for further studies in the university or start to work. Majority of the parents in South Korea will try their best to fight for the best school for their children because they all want their children to excel and have a better future. Therefore, this makes it hard to get into some school which are popular.

Students study real hard during their high school period in order to get into a college because in South Korea, college is hard to get into. The main purpose for the Korean students to study so much is because that is what the parents want but once they are able to get into a good college, their parents will be very happy.

In addition, the teaching of English language is common in South Korea’s school and they started learning English as early as in elementary school. Therefore, tourists do not have to worry about any language barrier when they visit South Korea because most of the Koreans do understand simple English.
