EDUCATION = key to success in life. 
-The school a person graduates from can determine whether one will be a success or failure. 
- many Korean parents will make sacrifices to let their children get the best education possible as education outweighs any other thing.
The Korean education system consists of:
 1.               6 years of primary school 
 2.           3 years of middle school(Sec)                                                                                                                                                                      
 3.                  3 years of high school  


Those who pass the national exam go on to 4-year colleges or universities. Others go to 2-year junior colleges, while the rest enter the work force. 
Until recently, most middle and high schools were segregated by sex. 
However, because of complaints about differences in education levels between the boys and girls schools and socialization problems later in life, most schools have gone co-ed.
