Seoul - Yonhap
President Park Geun-hye called Thursday for fundamental changes in the way English is taught in South Korea, saying families spend too much money on English education as the current system requires all students to learn high levels of the language. Park made the remark during a joint policy briefing by the education and culture ministries, saying that about one-third of the money families spend for private tutoring for their children goes to English education and the government should help lessen the burden.
