Korean secondary schools go coed to survive (JoongAng/12 Feb 2025)

Korea JoongAng Daily reports that plummeting student numbers are forcing many Korean single-sex schools to go coed to survive. In 2025, 32 schools are expected to make the transition, with government subsidies supporting the shift due to worsening gender imbalances in classrooms. Schools face logistical challenges, including facility upgrades and resistance from alumni and parents, but many that have gone coed report increased enrollment and improved student behavior.
