Wow! Pretty unbelievable though.

It won't happen unless they raise salaries or lower standards. Which one do you think is more likely?

Don't know why parents don't send their kids to Korean International schools. Half their incomes are from parents wanting their kids to learn English. By rights International schools aren't supposed to accept kids unless their passport shows that they have lived abroad in a foreign country for 5 years, however most will enroll any one who has cash to pay regardless of what their passports show.

They all have very large ESL departments in fact. I tutored some children in Seoul whose older brother was at Gwangju Foreign School. he was sent their specifically to learn English, and only been abroad during the odd summer vacation.
