 Welcome to Seoul, South Korea. Capital city of one of the world's fastest growing economies. There are many reasons to be impressed with this ancient tiger that rose from the ashes of the Civil War. But South Korea's crown 1 jewel is its education system.


 
Thanks to a militant 2 drive for success, this nation's students have outperformed the rest of the world for the better part of a decade. On the most recent PISA exam, the benchmark international test, South Korea ranked first in reading and second in math among all nations.
 
"In South Korea, teachers are known as nation builders."
 
President Obama has noticed, singing Korea's praises on a regular basis. On a visit to Seoul in 2009 he asked South Korean President Lee Myung-bak what his biggest challenge was in education. The president's reply? Korean parents care too much about their children's success.
 
We visited the Cho family on a typical day for their son, Sung-do. He gets up every day at 6:00 a.m. Jumps rope as the sun comes up. Then eats a massive 3 breakfast his mother has prepared. She says a healthy meal helps his concentration 4.
 
Sung-do goes to school from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on most days, much longer hours than most American stints 5. There are about 205 school days in South Korea's calendar, 25 more than the typical U.S. schedule.
 
Over the course of their academic careers, South Korean children will spend almost two more years in the classroom than their American counterparts 6.
