A-Soo-Na-Ro,an adolescence rights organization announced a report card which shows teenagers' view about their right in Korea. And also in honor of 80th birthday of Student Day, the adolescence rights organizations held a news conference and announced fve key words that must disappear for their happiness. The key words are control on cloth and hair style, classes at night named 'self-control studying',punishment, prejudice against students, and 2MB government.
They reported most students who joined their research answered that the student right is getting worse. The reason of this kind feeling is the stress level which comes from entrance examination is getting higher since 2008. Also 51.9 percent students answered the government doesn't care about ensurance of student right.
According to a research, the average sleeping time of a high school students is less than 6hours a day. Polls show that the students' dissatisfaction on educational policies are gettng stronger.
By use of a survey, A-Soo-Na-Ro submited petitions which include issues on controversy over the abolition of cloth and hair style control, punishment, and Green miles system.
It's interesting to see this article. I certainly agree that students in Korea are in a very difficult situation and living in a difficult world. Competition and, therefore stress, to get into the best schools is high.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think could be done (realistically) to reduce students' stress?
* "classes at night named 'self-control studying'"- What are these? Is this referring to institutes?
* prejudice against students - What kind of prejudice?
* 2MB government - What is the government's role in this? These issues outdate this government by many years.
