49 schools in Korea to close amid population decline
More elementary, middle and high schools in Korea are set to close this year due to the declining school-age population amid the country's low birthrate. Among them, 43 schools, or 88 percent of the total 49, were located in provinces away from the capital, according to education ministry data submitted to Rep. Jin Sun-mee of the Democratic Party of Korea, Sunday.
