English Immersion in Korea Quashed

Here today, gone tomorrow. Incoming President Lee Myung-bak's transition team has stopped the current government's proposal of introducing an English Immersion program into the public education system. Only last week the South Korea government announced their plan to implement English immersion in all middle and high schools by 2010. The announcement was met by an uproar from teachers, parents and students.
