Korean secondary schools
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).

- At the end of 2006', there are 3,051 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 I OLPC(itizen)s at minimum, and (12,092 + 106,919 = 119,011) x 101%= 120,202 Type II OLPC(itizen)s. For approximation, we need 2,087,000 OLPCs for middle school students and 120,200 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
- 271,310,000 (=2,087,000x$130) dollars for Type I OLPC(itizen)s ($130 per unit).
- 15,626,000 (=120,202x$130) dollars for [[Type II OLPC(itizen)s ($130 per unit). See Yet another OLPC: One Laptop per Citizen
- 7,670,000 (=59,000x$130) dollars for School Servers ($300 per unit). See School Servers for Korean Schools.
