One Third of Korean Students Sleep in Class
Friday | 0 comments
A Tokyo-based Japanese youth research center, surveyed a total of 6,173 high school students in Korea, Japan, China and the United States between June and November, last year. The results were very interesting. The survey found that 32.3 percent of Korean high schoolers nap during classes. Japan posted the highest ratio of 45.1 percent ― the figure was 20.8 percent in the U.S. and 4.7 percent for China.
The main reason is that
"Many Korean students study late at private tutoring institutes and tend to doze off at school."
This is probably the same case with Japan.
An official said that Korean students need to undertake huge workloads to advance to prestigious universities. Even after school, they have to stay up at late.
Another cause is addiction to computergames.
