The Korean public education structure is divided into three parts: six years of primary school, followed by three years of middle school and then three years of high school. In 1996 only about five percent of Korea's high schools were coeducational.

Education in South Korea is provided by both public schools and private schools. Both types of schools receive funding from the government, although the amount that the private schools receive is less than the amount of the state schools.[8]
South Korea is one of the top-performing OECD countries in reading literacy, mathematics and sciences with the average student scoring about 519, compared with the OECD average of 493, placing it ninth in the world.[9][10] The country has one of the world's highest-educated labour forces among OECD countries.[11][12] South Korea is well known for its high standards about education, which has come to be called "education fever".[13][14][15] The nation is consistently ranked amongst the top for global education.
Higher education is an overwhelmingly serious issue in South Korean society, where it is viewed as one of the fundamental cornerstones of South Korean life. Education is regarded as a high priority for South Korean families, as success in education is crucial for improving one's socioeconomic position in South Korean society.[16][17] Academic success is often a source of pride for families and within South Korean society at large. South Koreans view education as the main propeller of social mobility for themselves and their family as a gateway to the South Korean middle class. Graduating from a top university is the ultimate indication of prestige, high socioeconomic status, promising marriage prospects, and a prestigious and respectable white collar career path.[18] Many South Korean parents hold high educational expectations for their children, emphasize academic achievement and actively monitor in their children's academic progress by ensuring that their children receive top grades in school to have the potential to go on to enroll in the nation's most prestigious universities. To uphold the family honor, many South Korean children are expected to go on to university and take part in a prestigious white-collar occupation as their future career choice. An average South Korean child's life revolves around education as pressure to succeed academically is deeply ingrained in South Koreans from an early age. Students are faced with immense pressure to succeed academically from their parents, teachers, peers and society. This is largely a result of a society that has entrenched a great amount of importance on higher education, with those lacking formal university education often facing social prejudice as well as significant life-long consequences such as a stagnant and lower socioeconomic status, diminishing marriage prospects, and low possibilities of securing a respectable white collar and professional career path.[19]
While obtaining a higher education in South Korea is not mandatory, it is abnormal to not have one. In 2014, South Korea's universities were attended by over two million students. The amount of teens age 15–19 is over two million, meaning only 1.7% of students between that age group are not attending college. (Krechetnikov, 2016)
In 2016, the country spent 5.4% of its GDP on all levels of education – roughly 0.4 percentage points above the OECD average.[4] A strong investment in education, a militant drive for success, as well as the passion for excellence has helped the resource poor country rapidly grow its economy over the past 60 years from the effects of the Korean War.[20] South Korea's zeal for education and its students' desires to get into a prestigious university is one of the highest in the world, as the entrance into a top tier higher educational institution leads to a prestigious, secure and well-paid professional white collar job with the government, banks, or a major South Korean conglomerate such as Samsung, Hyundai and LG Electronics.[21] With incredible pressure on high school students to secure places at the nation's best universities, its institutional reputation, campus facilities and equipment, endowment, faculty, and alumni networks are strong predictors of future career prospects. The top three universities in South Korea, often referred to as "SKY", are Seoul National University, Korea University and Yonsei University.[2][22][23] Intense competition and pressure to earn the highest grades is deeply ingrained in the psyche of South Korean students at a young age.[23] Yet with only so many places at universities and even fewer places at top-tier companies, many young people remain disappointed and are often unwilling to lower their sights with the result of many feeling as underachievers. There is a major cultural taboo in South Korean society attached to those who have not achieved formal university education, where those who don't hold university degrees face social prejudice and are often looked down by others as second-class citizens, resulting fewer opportunities for employment, improvement of one's socioeconomic position and prospects for marriage.[24]
International reception on the South Korean education system has been divided. It has been praised for various reasons, including its comparatively high test results and its major role in ushering South Korea's economic development while creating one of the world's most educated workforces.[25] South Korea's highly enviable academic performance has gotten British education ministers actively remodeling their own curriculums and exams to try to emulate Korea's militant drive and passion for excellence and high educational achievement.[25] U.S. President Barack Obama has also praised the country's rigorous school system, where over 80 percent of South Korean high school graduates go on to university.[26] The nation's high university entrance rate has created a highly skilled workforce making South Korea among the most highly educated countries in the world with the one of the highest percentage of its citizens holding a tertiary education degree.[3][4] Large majorities of South Korean students go on to enroll in some form of tertiary education and leave higher education with a tertiary qualification. In 2017, the country ranked fifth for the percentage of 25- to 64-year-olds that have attained tertiary education with 47.7 percent.[3] 69.8 percent of South Koreans aged 25 to 34 years old have completed some form of tertiary education with 34.2 percent of South Koreans aged 25 to 64 having attained a bachelor's degree which is one of the highest among OECD countries.[3][4]
The system's rigid and hierarchical structure has been criticized for stifling creativity and innovation;[27][28] described as intensely and "brutally" competitive,[29] The system is often blamed for the high suicide rate in South Korea, particularly the growing rates among those aged 10–19. Various media outlets attribute the nations high suicide rate on the nationwide anxiety around the country's college entrance exams, which determine the trajectory of students' entire lives and careers,[30][31] though teenage suicide rates (ages 15–19) still remain below those of the United States and Canada.[32] Former South Korean hagwon teacher Se-Woong Koo wrote that the South Korean education system amounts to child abuse and that it should be "reformed and restructured without delay".[33] The system has also been criticized for producing an excess supply of university graduates creating an overeducated and underemployed labor force; in the first quarter of 2013 alone, nearly 3.3 million South Korean university graduates were jobless, leading many graduates overqualified for jobs requiring less education.[34] Further criticism has been stemmed for causing labor shortages in various skilled blue collar labor and vocational occupations, where many go unfilled as the negative social stigma associated with vocational careers and not having a university degree continues to remain deep-rooted in South Korean society.[19][35][36][37][38][39][21]
