Topic Choosing[edit]

There are so many countries who can't afford a proper education for it's people due to their economic conditions, and for that, I believe that we need to know the wise spending on education. South Korea is a country that is well known for it's entertainment since years ago and it make a great contribution to their economy conditions. So I would like to know more about their education especially for the entertainment sector and how they manage their economy and spending for it.

Comment on Peer Review[edit]

Thank you so much for all the helpful reviews. I do agree with the review saying that there is still not much substantial content in the article. I was mainly focused on writing about the structure of the article. So, after this, I will try to elaborate on the content. I also need to write the statement written along with the sources. I will also give a lot of thoughts on the structure so the flow of the article will be more pleasant to read.

WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE: South Korea Domestic Resource Mobilization and Spending on Education[edit]

South Korea is one of the leading countries in the education system^[1]. South Korea has recently been ranked first in having the most educated young people in the world in having the most educated young people. About 70% of young people between the ages of 25 and 34 in the Republic of Korea have completed tertiary education or higher education such as a university.^[2]

In this case, the economy must play an essential role in the education system in South Korea. One indicator that can be used to see their domestic resource mobilization is looking at their source of funding and how they spend their money for education purposes.

Funding[edit]

South Korea's education is divided into public school and private school^[3].

The education budget for South Korea is made up of funds from the central government, local government, and the independent resources of private schools^[4]. The central government and local government also cover different levels of education in South Korea. Public schools will get total funding from the government based on their education level. Central governments are responsible for university and university college education. Local governments are responsible for primary to upper secondary education. Meanwhile, private education has its own authority on funding and spending its money. The private school will receive less funding from the government^[5].

Central Government[edit]

The central government received their funds mainly from the nation's taxes. The most significant source of income for education is from the education tax. In 1982, a supplemental education tax was put in place, and it was made permanent in 1991. In 1999, it made up 26.2 percent of the MOE's budget.^[6]

Any person in one of the following list, needs to pay for education tax based on the standard tax rates^[7].

Taxpayer of Liquor Tax	Liquor tax amount payable pursuant to the Liquor Tax Law	10% (30% when liquor tax rate is over 70/100)

Local Government[edit]

Another funding for education in South Korea comes from the local government. The local government's budget comes primarily from subsidies disbursed by the central government. The next biggest funding for education by the local government comes from the local education tax.

The local education tax is received from the registration tax, the leisure tax, per capita inhabitant tax, property tax, tobacco consumption tax, and automobile tax. Any person in one of the following categories needs to pay for local education tax based on the standard tax rates^[8].


Tax Payers	Tax Base	Standard Tax Rate

Taxpayer of Automobile Tax	Automobile tax amount payable pursuant to the Local Tax Law	30%
Taxpayer of Tobacco Consumption Tax	Tobacco consumption tax amount payable pursuant to the Local Tax Law	50%

Independent Resource[edit]

Private schools receive a little amount of money from the government. Public schools mostly receive their funds from local, state and federal funds^[9]. The major source of funding for private schools are from tuition payment and entrance fees from parents. The other contributors for private school are donors, entrepreneurs or private organizations remain negligible.^[10]
