Korea’s ‘hell exams’, where only 5% get the toughest questions right

[@sophiaisabelle027]

I probably would've never passed this on the first try. South Korea is pretty competitive, and the education system there goes well beyond and the students don't have enough time to rest properly or do the things they want to do outside of school. Seems like all their lives they were told to study hard to pass these college admission test things. A fewer percentage get into the most prestigious institutions there.

Instead of only fixing the college entrance exams, they should collaborate to FIX also the high school curriculum preparation stage before going to college. SPREAD the similar tough questions in high school years in repeitive ways. This is one of the solution to empower students and not to demoralize them. In this way, it lessens cases of bullying, suicides and demoralization. It will now promote more capabled incoming colleges and turn soon into better young professionals in any industry. Thus, growing domestic productivity. Or else. College management people needs improvement in looking at the whole picture since they should guide incoming colleges and not deprived them. This applies to all countries.

In 2022, 37 million Indians applied for 35,000 job openings in the Indian railway, just 1 job offer for more than 1,000 applicants. When the railway authority announced that they were not ready to make the job offers in 2022, the applicant went on a rampage. Burning down train cars and vandalising railway stations. That's the seriousness of India's unemployment crisis
