Pressure group argues that money spent on early year classes is wasted and urges starting at age 10
Parents in South Korea who put their pre-school-age children into English language classes are wasting their money and could be slowing their educational development.
This is the message that an education pressure group, World Without Worries About Private Education, is trying to get across in a society where pressure to attain exam success has created a boom in private tuition and growing numbers of English language classes for kindergarten-aged children.
World Without Worries has distributed 200,000 copies of its latest booklet, What a Waste – Private English Education, in an attempt to change opinion about early-year language classes and convince parents that their children are likely to acquire more English if they start learning later.
