The youth of South Korea‘s workforce are among the most likely to have university degrees, with Norway and Japan close behind at 90 percent, than anywhere else in the world, according to an OECD report.
The South Korean success was also reflected in test results. In math skills, South Korean teens ranked second in place behind Finland. According to a South Korean embassy spokesperson, great value is attached to education in the country which is seen as a way of achieving individual and national economic success. In the 60s, South Korea had the same national wealth level as Afghanistan. | ||||
