Korea is one of the most highly educated nations in the world. Obama admired South Korea again about education. Obama encourages Americans to put more effort on their education because America cannot succeed in science if South Korea and India produces more scientists and engineers. Obama used Korean education to be an example of what American educators should try to be like by having longer school days and after-school programs. South Korea is surprise by Obama remarks because Korean education lack creativity and depend on private tutoring.
From what I heard, Korean children have extra class every evening, so they can do well and enter a good university. However, Korean children will be stressed from their studies and do not have any free time to relax.
