Then, what is a state secret ginseng country nicknamed it so successfully made the education sector accounted for the world even be the best. Here's the secret ...
If not so superior human being, we will die. That principle held by South Korean people are poor in natural resources and geopolitical surrounded the four major powers: China, Russia, North Korea, and Japan.
Along with the development of character, South Korea had also boost formal education nation. The government requires all citizens of South Korea 12 years of basic education, or at least to finish high school. As a result, South Korea has one of the highest literacy rates in the world.
Pisa score that measures the ability of students reading, math, science and the fifth highest in the world in 2012 version of the OECD. In addition, 84.6 percent of male students and 82.4 percent of female students high school graduates go on to college or university.
In the schools, the South Korean man really brewing. We had the opportunity to look at Daewon Foreign Languages School, one of the best foreign-language schools at the high school located in the hills north side of Seoul, early September.
Principal Daewon Kim Il Hyoung we met in his office said, the school prioritizes focus mastery of foreign languages by students, including English, German, Chinese, and Spanish. "Our students learn a third language here. Many of those who later studied at Harvard, the US or Oxford, England, "said Kim proudly.
When we arrived, a number of girls were playing Kenchi objects leather coin of the bonded few feathers goose-with his feet. Boys playing basketball cheerfully. Some students who passed us immediately bowed his head and slightly bowed as a sign of respect.
Hours of play and sport perhaps most enjoyable hour for the disciples. Furthermore, they have to struggle with a variety of subjects throughout the day from morning to night.
They are already in school at 7:40 and started studying at 08:20. Hours new lesson is finished at 19.30. That is, they are in school an average of 11 hours and 10 minutes. Not surprisingly, South Korea had been named as the country with school hours longest in the world.
Hours of lessons along it was considered insufficient. When class was over, some students continue activities to learn together in the hall. School bus and took them home at 22:30. Those who do not learn in the hall mostly go to places for learning les again until late at night.
The only way to success
Daewon Counseling Director Eric Cho said, hours before the lesson even longer. In the past, a new class ends at 21:45 and the students enrolled at the school on Saturday. Those days are indeed very heavy, continued Eric, but the South Korean people must live. Therefore, they are aware, education is the only path to success.
The education system is so hard not without excesses. Many children who could not stand the pressure of the lesson finally chose suicide. In recent years, the government tried to improve the education system is too extreme.
"This month, they (the government) try hour elementary school begins at 09.00 so kids have more time to sleep and have breakfast with parents. Private courses in Hagwan institutions must also be closed at 21:00 for the sake of children's health, "said Eric.
That is the path of the South to change the fate of the poor become rich nation, a nation that never lost become a nation of winners. They shape and educate human character with very hard in order to be a leading nation.
