In the aftermath of Corona 19, private education expenses temporarily decreased last year.
However, the higher the parent’s income, the higher the rate of private education, so polarization remained.

In the aftermath of Corona 19, school expenses and tutoring expenses have drastically decreased.
As a result of a joint survey of private education expenses for elementary, middle and high schools last year by the Ministry of Education and the National Statistical Office, it decreased by 1.2 trillion won.
In particular, the private education market for elementary schools was hit by a direct hit, which decreased by 1 trillion won.

The average monthly private education cost per person also decreased by 23.7% for elementary schools.
On the other hand, for high school students who are urgent to pursue a career or further study, private education expenditures increased by 5.9%.
The lessons that could not be filled with school classes were filled with private education.

Private education expenditures by subject were also affected by COVID-19.
Private education expenses for general subjects such as national, English, and water have decreased by about 3%, but arts and sports such as music, art, and Taekwondo have decreased by 30%.

The educational gap according to parents’ income was still there.
Households with monthly incomes of 8 million won or more spent 504,000 won for private education.
On the other hand, households with less than 2 million won account for 99,000, which is more than 5 times the difference.
Although private education costs have temporarily decreased due to the coronavirus, the educational gap has not been resolved, and if the decline in education is realized, it is feared that the polarization will increase.
