  • The Korean public education structure is divided into three parts: six years of primary school, followed by three years of middle school and then three years of high school
  • The primary curriculum consists of nine principal subjects: moral education, Korean language, social studies, mathematics, science, physical education, music, fine arts, and practical arts.
  • High schools are divided into academic and vocational schools
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Upon completion of primary school, students advance to middle school, which comprises grades seven through nine. The curriculum consists of 12 basic or required subjects, electives, and extracurricular activities
  • school calendar has two semesters, the first extending from March through July and the second from September through February. There are summer and winter breaks, but 10 optional half days at the beginning and end of each break
  • A typical day finds high schoolers studying before school begins at about 8:00 A.M. Classes run for 50 minutes each, with a morning break and a 50-minute lunch period. The afternoon session resumes at about 1:00 P.M., and classes continue until about 4:00 or 4:30, followed by the cleaning of the classroom. Students may then take a short dinner break at home, or they may eat at school
  • Elementary and middle school students have similar but somewhat less rigorous days with shorter hours and more recreational activities.
  • Students return to the school library to study or attend private schools or tutoring sessions until between 10:00 P.M. and midnight.
  • Attendance requirements call for a minimum of 220 days at all three levels
  • Most instruction we observed consisted of teacher lectures, with only rare interruptions for questions. If students had questions, they might speak to the teacher after class
  • discipline problems were infrequent, and great respect for teachers was evident. Students bowed, as is the custom, when passing teachers in the halls and appeared hesitant to enter faculty offices.
  • Korean teachers still have more responsibility for counseling students and controlling their behavior than do teachers in the United States. Korean culture grants teachers the same authority as parents and attributes them even greater responsibility for children's moral and academic development.

  • In terms of economics, political science, and sociology, increases in education have been shown to bolster economic development and politically mobilize the public. The South Korean case, with its rapid economic growth since the 1960s and the shift to democratization in the 1980s, is a strong example supporting this claim.

      This will show that South Korean education has dramatically improved from 40 years ago. The government of South Korea is supporting innovation and political freedom in the schools.
