More than 4,000 elementary, middle and high schools across Korea have shut their doors as the country’s student population shrinks, new data shows.
According to the Ministry of Education’s latest figures, revealed on Sunday by Rep. Jin Sun-mee of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea, since 1980, 4,008 schools under 17 regional education offices nationwide have closed as of March this year. During the period, the number of enrolled students decreased from 9.9 million to 5.07 million.
dude my degrees are better than your degrees in the subject but try to go off. “a steep decline like this is catastrophic for a country” no it isn’t, we want to believe it would be but the only steep population declines we’ve ever actually seen were from famine, war the like. Just because you read a book with a funny title does not give you an understanding of the choices people voluntarily make and that does not push a country to a cliff.
Okay boomer
Funny then how your previous comment is completely disconnected from the real problem.
I think I’ll just block you, because you are too weird for me.
