Has anyone heard about or have any reliable information regarding the K Gov't attempting to (once again) set maximum fees for Hakwons?

It seems that the K-Gov't is trying to "improve" the public school system by forcing Hakwons to provide even crappier service and in many cases forcing them out of business.

From what I have heard Hakwons charging more than 150 000 won per month will lose their licences and be forced to close.

Anyone else heard of this madness.

Thanks.

As you know the search function is suspect at best.

It's been in place for quite some time. I know that the maximum was 60,000 for adult classes when I first arrived here. Sounds like the hogwan has become the gov'ts target this month.

First the hookers, then us.

Does that mean we are better or worse than whores?

edit; hey that made it through the filter.

ours charges 200,000 for mwf classes per month...

[Drakoi]

it's something like that, but it's for per hour, per subject, etc...

Ya right....I would sure like to see the government enforce this. The hagwon industry would suffer too much.
