Korean Education problems

-Korean Education system's problem-

Korean are well known for passion of study. They spend a lot of time and money. However, does it really work? Does it really satisfied to students? I'm sure it's doesn't. Following the research, Korean education's satisfaction was in low lank of OECD countries. (36 of 38) It means their time and money are not using effective. These facts are shown in everywhere. Representatively, comparing with Finland is practical. First of all, Finland is famous for world's best effective education and happy students. We wonder "Why does results are poor than Finland's? We spend more time to study but why?" The answer is they don't ranked students. The report card shows only their achievement of goal, not grade. It means, students don't have to compete with others.  Also teachers are more pay attention to low students.

We could know so much pressure and stress are make them demoralized in these research. Sitting and listening for a long time make exhausted. It's the fast way having a strong dissatisfactions on education system. Moreover, they don't have many chance to discuss or ask question in class. They just focus on books and this problem lead to English. Korean English education system is focus on reading, grammar and vocabulary. It's result in conversation skill problem. They know about word and grammar but it's hard to say out. Reading skill is also important but moreover, speaking is more to live in a global world. So education system have to change. We know that it's not easy but it should be work gradually.
