0:19
day

0:22
wonderful hours sleep less everynight than their american counterparts
0:29
and his another statistic tucci won
0:31
everyday south korean children studied for almost three hours more than those
0:36
in the u_s_ breakfast here is food for thought quite literally
0:42
coutinho called maria

0:54
three had sex with education a place where families
0:59
jostling
1:00
four every opportunity

1:03
perhaps it's because of that
1:05
fusion ideal on the witness
1:08
is eight pa sports soon status and wealth but whatever the reason
1:12
this country's lasts for learning has caught the eye of
1:17
rather influential individual
1:21
during his visits to sol last november president obama says he asked his south
1:25
korean counterpart to name this country's biggest educational challenge
1:31
not crumbling schools or media budgets came the reply
1:35
parents who attend demanding
1:39
forehead chan today's first lesson is john mcwethy
1:42
in measurements of school level acrobatics ability south korea sits near
1:47
the top of the table back to has impressed president obama who has been
1:52
publicly praising the extended school timetable and the results it produces
2:00
yet they are but his south korea really such a good role model
2:05
page and has just a few private lessons the week
2:08
many schoolchildren though face pam after-school routine that drags on for
2:13
class after class
2:15
sometimes until midnight even the south korean government which welcomes
2:19
president obama's warm words is a little taken aback
2:23

2:28
one-step with always thought
2:30
what has some problems
2:31
in our education system
2:33
and we have to
2:35
take a while problem before you becomes
2:39
trombones yes
2:41
in fact
2:42
the government now appears to believe that south korea's problem is
2:47
much education
2:48
this country's late night
2:50
private cram schools are robbing children of their childhoods with their
2:55
egos and with an overreliance on rote learning
2:58
pupils are being turned into little more band exam costing machine
3:04
and this competition quiescent memory
3:08
not only works in who
3:10
not mail-ew zero not creating mind
3:13
what memory
3:14
you have to memorize thousand thousand different things
3:18
before getting into the
3:20
tensions exactly
3:21
so we like to change it
3:23
that kind of education system
3:27
meanwhile south korean families are voting with their feet
3:31
every year thousands send their children overseas in search of a better education
3:36
abt this combined immigration and education fair i met the kim family
3:42
thinking about leaving career for the sake of their children
3:46
world misery and education is one by mention all mister kim tells me foreign
3:51

4:08
there is much to be admired in this system the discipline of the appetite
4:11
for learning but some would say that south korea also offers are warning
