My project was on the successful education system of South Korea. I expanded on the harshness of the environment that the students are subjected to and the toll it has on the students. With depression and academic mental illnesses being common, it is a problem that Korea is facing with their education system. Although it is widely successful and are the top performers in the world, it comes at a price of the health of the students. The success of the Korean education system can be attributed to the infrastructure, rapid growth, and their knowledge economy. Because of all of these attributes, the pressure for the students to perform well is abundant.
