The secondary educational system of South Korea consists of the two different system, a middle school (3 years) and a high school (3 years).

There are about 3,851,168 secondary students (13~18 years old) in South Korea (Dec.2006). we hope to distribute OLPC national-wide from 2009, but for 2008' only some of them will receive their OLPCs. See School list for detailed information about schools in South Korea (Korean character).

Summary of middle Schools in South Korea

For full information, visit here and click the Excel file attached.

  • At the end of 2006', there are 3,051 middle schools, 2,075,311 students, 58,771 classes, 12,092 office workers and 106,919

teachers. We estimate there should be an extra OLPC per 500 students and per 100 teachers. So, we need (2,075,311 x 100.5% = ) 2,086,688 Type II OLPC(itizen)s at minimum, and (12,092 + 106,919 = 119,011) x 101%= 120,202 Type III OLPC(itizen)s. For approximation, we need 2,087,000 Type II OLPCs for middle school students and 120,200 Type III OLPCs for teachers/office workers.

  • As we expect One Server per Class, we need 58,771 servers. However, there are some schools whose students are less than 100, a little more servers more will be needed, maybe servers.
  • Estimated budget: 294,606,000 dollars at minimum

Summary of high Schools in South Korea

There are two kinds of high schools in South Korea, one for occupational training, and the other for preliminary college education.

High schools for occupational trainings in South Korea

  • At the end of 2006', there are 723 occupational training high schools, 494,349 students, 16,556 classes, 5,362 office workers and 36,750 teachers. We estimate there should be an extra OLPC per 500 students and per 100 teachers. So, we need (494,349 x 100.5% = ) 496,821 Type II OLPC(itizen)s at minimum, and (5,362 + 36,750 = 42,112) x 101%= 42,534 Type III OLPC(itizen)s. For approximation, we need 487,000 Type II OLPCs for occupational training high school students and 43,000 Type III OLPCs for teachers/office workers.
  • As we expect One Server per Class, we need 16,556 servers. However, there are some schools whose students are less than 100, a little more servers more will be needed, maybe 17,000 servers.
  • Estimated budget: about 72,387,000 dollars at minimum

High schools for preliminary college education

  • At the end of 2006', there are 1,437 high schools for preliminary college education, 1,281,508 students, 38,034 classes, 7,947 office workers and 81,183 teachers. We estimate there should be an extra OLPC per 500 students and per 100 teachers. So, we need (1,281,508 x 100.5% = ) 1,287,916 Type II OLPC(itizen)s at minimum, and (7,947 + 81,183 = 89,130) x 101%= 90,022 Type III OLPC(itizen)s. For approximation, we need 1,288,000 Type II OLPCs for high schools for preliminary college education and 90,100 Type III OLPCs for teachers/office workers.
  • As we expect One Server per Class, we need 38,034 servers. However, there are some schools whose students are less than 100, a little more servers more will be needed, maybe 38,100 servers.
  • Estimated budget: about 190,583,000 dollars at minimum
    • 167,440,000 (=1,288,000x$130) dollars for Type II OLPC(itizen)s ($130 per unit).
    • 11,713,000 (=90,100x$130) dollars for [[Type III OLPC(itizen)s ($130 per unit).
    • 11,430,000 (=17,000x$300) dollars for School Servers ($300 per unit). See School Servers for Korean Schools.



Subtotal: we need at least 558 million dollars for middle or high school students.'
