Synopsis

Korean Study Culture explores South Korea's intense educational environment, examining why a nation renowned for academic achievement also faces significant societal pressures linked to this pursuit. The book delves into the concept of "yeol-gong," or "burning study," highlighting how this relentless drive permeates Korean society from a young age. It also investigates the impact of "hagwons," private cram schools, on academic competition and equity. This comprehensive analysis sheds light on the complex relationship between cultural values, educational systems, and individual well-being.

The book traces the roots of this academic fervor to Confucian ideals emphasizing education as a pathway to social mobility. It presents a structured argument, first examining societal pressures, then analyzing the education system's structure and impact, and finally investigating the psychological consequences. The approach combines statistical data, surveys, ethnographic studies, and interviews, offering a multi-faceted perspective.

The central argument suggests that South Korea's extreme academic intensity, while leading to high achievement, significantly impacts individual well-being and social equity. The book advocates for a more holistic educational approach that values creativity and personal development alongside academic success.

By presenting a balanced view supported by diverse evidence, Korean Study Culture provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of education in a globalized world.
