Laws | Hagwons to Post Tuition Online

7 October 2008 367 views 0 Comments

 

Hagwons may soon be required to post their tuition fees online in order to prevent overcharging, says this morning’s Korea Times. The short blurb describes efforts by the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology to pass through hagwon law revisions at the National Assembly effective next year.

These price regulations, are they good or bad for teachers’ salaries?  One might make the assertion that hagwons will now compete to offer the lowest posted price on these sites.  Who will then have to take the cut but teachers?
