I remember back in the day. I used to love summer breaks because there are just so many things you can do especially when the weather tempts you to go out and do outdoor activities but it also kind of scared me a little whenever i thought about going back to school and getting completely lost in my studies.
//In Korea.‚..it is a common sight to see private academies completely filled up with students during the summer vacation trying hard to not get lagged behind their school studies Now both financially and emotionallythis can be a great burden for parents and kids alikeSo the Korean government has stepped up to solve such problems and give both parents and kids a chance to enjoy the summer break to the fullest.

The long-awaited summer break has finally begun‚ and every child in Korea can't wait to splash around in the sun!
However‚ for parents‚ summer break is the time when students must go to private academies to supplement their studies in school.

[Interview : ] "I send them to private academies. I'm planning to hire math and English tutors for the vacation period."
Private education costs normally rise during vacation‚ and demand is expected to rise even more this year as private academies were restricted in giving late-night lessons during the last semester.
According to Statistics Korea‚ private education represented the second-largest expense of household budgets in Korea.

The Korean central and local governments are helping families cope with the costs of private education‚ especially during vacations.

We also hope to support more after-school programs for students living in farming‚ mountainous‚ or fishing communities."
