SEOUL: In South Korea, where English education is highly valued, the cost of pre-schools providing English immersive education outstrips that of college tuition by a wide margin, according to a local civic group.
The Seoul-based World Without Worry About Private Education said in its report released on Sept 25 that the average yearly fees for “English kindergartens” in Seoul amounted to 15.72 million won (S$15,227) in 2023 – 2.3 times higher than the average annual university tuition of 6.78 million won.
