400,000 Gifted Students to Get Elite Education by 2010

What would you do as a country to get ahead, climb up the value added ladder, stay ahead of global competition and China.

Plow money into education. Already, Asian students are the global top.

Alread, Korea spend 8.2 percent of the gross domestic product on public education, higher than 7.1 percent spent last year and now, their "The Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development on Wednesday announced the plan to provide elite education for about 400,000 students, or 5 percent of the total students from elementary to middle and high schools by 2010."

It is of course, tough for those that are left behind. Education, especially learning based on memorising, is not everything, and learning, learning, learning might kill creativity. So let's take this also with a bit of salt, but agree that spending on education in itself is a good sign.
