[edit] Literacy

Are these figures considered accurate among academics and serious researchers? --Dpr 04:32, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

This caught my eye as well. It would seem like the UNDP has a policy of nation self reporting statistics to them? I'm going to do some research and see if I can find any support for the durrent numbers. -LouieS 17:48, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

It takes a speaker of Korean 2-4 hours to learn the alphabet. It takes a foreigner perhaps a day. Illiteracy is not an issue.

IIRC, my university's KS professor (not a Korean) mentioned a tradition of very high literacy in both Koreas without expressing such doubts. I think he gave a percentage of 90% or more. 00:32, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] big block of text

this has loads of text before the introduction and not many pictures. i also has lots of text before the nav-bar thing (with links to places in the document). could someone please edit these problems? Fwed66 12:57, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I've made a start (fix garbled text/diacritics, summon TOC to top, add wikilinks, add/update stuff) but don't feel like continuing. Wikipeditor 18:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
