Soaring Kindergarten Fees Spark Regulation Debate in Seoul

Tuition fees for private English kindergartens in the greater Seoul area are soaring, sparking a debate on regulation. Lawmakers, parents, and businesses have differing views on the issue, with some advocating for a ban on these institutions.

The rising demand for English kindergartens, as seen in the Gangnam District, southern Seoul, has led to increased tuition fees. Experts argue that regulation may not significantly curb these costs. Parents and businesses, however, worry that strict rules could limit access to these educational opportunities.

Lawmakers and education experts have been discussing the regulation of private education for preschoolers. Some propose a ban, citing concerns about inequality and the commercialisation of early childhood education. Others suggest that regulation may not address the root causes of high tuition fees.

The debate on regulating private English kindergartens in Seoul continues. While some advocate for a ban, others question its effectiveness. Regardless, support for kindergarten children is set to rise from next year, highlighting the need for a resolution.
