Higher education is an overwhelmingly serious issue in South Korea society, where it is viewed as one of the fundamental cornerstones of South Korean life. Success in education holds a cultural status as a necessity for socioeconomic success in South Korean society. Academic success is often a source of pride for families and within South Korean society at large.

South Koreans view education as the main propeller of social mobility for themselves and their family as a gateway to the South Korean middle class. Graduating from a top university is the ultimate marker of prestige, high socioeconomic status, promising marriage prospects, and a respectable career path. Pressure to succeed academically is deeply ingrained in South Korean children from an early age.
