韩国政府非常重视高等教育,大学入学考试竞争更加激烈。政府年初公布的统计数据显示,韩国父母每年投入近200亿美元用于私人教育和补习学校,相当于整个国家GDP的2%,帮助学生为高考做好准备。
Competition is fierce for places in education-obsessed South Korea's universities, and government data earlier this year showed that parents in South Korea spend nearly $20 billion a year, or about 2 percent of the country's GDP, on private education and cram schools to help students prepare.
