Korean Parents Invest in English Preschools
A Ministry of Education-backed survey obtained by Rep. Kang Kyung-sook reports that 47.6 percent of South Korea's children under six attended private education between July and September last year, with average English-immersion preschool tuition at 1.54 million won. Among intensive childcare recipients, 85.7 percent enroll in English immersion, yet only 25.6 percent of parents feel financial strain. Policymakers and educators call for public curriculum overhaul.
