Academic achievement test: Students take the state-initiated academic achievement test at Midong Elementary School in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, Tuesday. Some 1.7 million students from primary and secondary schools nationwide took the test, although some unionized teachers call for its abolishment, insisting that such state-run tests are driving intense competition among students.
