English Villages a failure
English villages across Korea are losing money and have failed in their purpose. I’m not surprised. Read the whole story at the Joongang Daily.
Regional governments invested heavily in the villages without much consideration for educational demand.
As a result, half of them are concentrated in the Seoul metropolitan area and some are only a two to three minutes’ drive from each other.
Most of them offer short-term programs lasting only a few days, which means they cannot satisfy the original purpose of complementing English education at schools and substituting costly English learning programs abroad.
