More Korean Students Want To Go Overseas

From Korea Times: “About 50 percent of middle and high school students think Korea is not a good country to live in. The survey was conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute (NYPI) on some 9,400 elementary and secondary school students nationwide from May to July last year. The result suggests a deep-rooted distrust of the country’s competition-oriented educational system, the institute said. The survey indicates that the attitude towards the country’s legal and political system becomes negative as students get older.” I’m surprised that this dissatisfaction is happening so early especially with the typical Korean superiority indoctrination that seems to happen at an early age. I wonder what it will mean if there really is a mass exodus as this generation gets older.
