Many Koreans blame Korea education system although our education system is recognized as one of the excellent system by other countries. Barack Obama who is the President of the USA, mentioned excellence of Korea education system, and McKinsey which is the best consultant company selected Korea, Finland and Hong Kong that countries having good education system.
However why do many Koreans have complaints about under the present education system? People say our education system can’t meet people’s demands and it causes increasing of private education sector. We must know one certain reason how has Korea developed very fast. One of the motives is our education system. The problem is our desire that our children would be better than other children, not education system. Whenever they complain the education system, they compare our education system to other countries system and they say that other countries people don’t experience ours, so they don’t know well. But I would ask people saying above way, have you experienced others? Our education system has been changed with our demands. If you want to blame something, blame your too high expectations and desires. Who sends their 5 or 6-year-old children to study English in private sector, make their son and daughter stay an academy for studying Mathematics after starting middle or high school.
Public education is for all, not only for one’s children. And there is nothing that all people feel satisfied. Of course our education system isn’t perfect but it is good enough.
Yeah I am happy that there is a mate who has the same opinion as me. It is a quite tragdy for children to be sent to abroads because of their mother's desire not children's.
답글삭제As you said, we didn't experience other education system. so, we couldn't say their system is better than ours. Maybe their comfortable system has other problems we don't realised.
