South Koreans Buy into a U.S. Education

Sunday, February 5, 2006
A growing number of South Korean parents are paying retired couples in the United States to adopt their children. The Korean parents say teaching their children English is a priority, as are other factors, including avoiding compulsory military service for young men and gaining the prestige of an American education.
One out of three South Korean parents are willing to send their children abroad for the sake of a better education, according to a study by the Center for Korean Education Development in Seoul, published in the Korea Times of Los Angeles.
In the past, parents would ask relatives living in the United States to adopt their children, but more parents are now seeking out Caucasian families who are strangers to them. |
