The day after tomorrow (9th) is Hangeul Day.
However, the situation in Hangeul is not as good as it is, and it is said that the literacy ability to read and understand texts is often poor.
And this phenomenon is also changing the private education market.
Recently, a literacy academy has appeared and is said to be getting special.
This is a phenomenon that occurred when some parents, feeling anxious about their child's literacy, went to the hagwon, and a literacy academy in Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu recruited more than 300 students within a year of opening. I am a freshman.
An official from an academy said, 'For the past two years, low-grade students, who have lacked vocabulary due to online classes due to COVID-19, mainly visit the academy.'
The cost of private academy is about 150,000 to 200,000 won per month on average, but if one-on-one tutoring is included, it can jump to 500,000 won, which can be a burden to parents.
