International Perspectives on Korean Educational Achievements
Barry McGaw 한국교육개발원 2005 KEDI Journal of Educational Policy Vol.2 No.2
Korea values education. Among OECD countries, it has the highest participation rate in upper secondary education and among the highest in tertiary education and it commits the highest percentage of GDP to expenditure on education. Its 15-year-olds are the best in the world in mathematics and problem solving and close to the best in science and reading literacy. Korea’s results are also equitable in the sense that overall differences in social background are not strongly related to differences in educational achievement, though there are marked differences among schools in the social background of students enrolled. In achieving these results, however, young Koreans spend a great deal of their lives on school work, in and out of school. A key issue is whether Korean young people could spend more time in other childhood activities while maintaining their high-quality outcomes, as their counterparts in some other countries do.

Tobacco-Related Chronic Illnesses: A Public Health Concern for Jamaica
Crawford, Tazhmoye V.,McGrowder, Donovan A.,Barnett, Jasper D.,McGaw, Barbara A.,McKenzie, Irving F.,James, Leslie G. Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2012 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.13 No.9
Background: Tobacco use is a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality from non-communicable diseases. The objectives of the study were to determine the percentage of annual income used to purchase tobacco-related products and treat tobacco-related illnesses, and assess the characteristics of smokers and their awareness of the health-related risks of smoking. Method: Stratified and snowball sampling methods were used to obtain information (via a 17-item, close-ended questionnaire) from 85 adult respondents (49 males and 36 females). The instrument comprised of demographic characteristics, smoking behavioural/lifestyle, health, and micro socio-economics. Results: There were no significant differences between individuals who were affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) (14.1%) and cardiovascular disease (18.8%). It was found that respondents spend 30-39% of their annual income on tobacco-related products. Forty percent (40.0%) and 41.7% of respondents with lung cancer and COPD respectively spend more than 50% of their annual income to treat these diseases. The majority (80%) of those who continues to consume tobacco-related products were uncertain as to why they were doing it. Not all the smokers were aware of the dangers of tobacco consumption despite their level of education. Conclusion: The majority of the respondents who had tobacco-related illnesses such as lung cancer and COPD spend a significant amount of their income on their health care. Not all the smokers were aware of the dangers of tobacco consumption despite their level of education. This suggests the need for increase public awareness where both smokers and non smokers are being fully or adequately informed about the dangers or health risks of tobacco consumption.
