Pyongyang, April 24 (KCNA) -- The educational system in the U.S. is an epitome of the society where money is everything. According to a recent survey, the debts the American students have to pay back for the money borrowed in order to cover their school expenses reached more than a trillion dollars. Each graduate from secondary and high schools is saddled with debt amounting to 25,000 U.S. dollars on an average or 25 percent increase over that a decade ago. There are some who have still failed to pay the money borrowed to cover school expenses late in the 1960s. According to experts, lots of Americans are debt-ridden due to school expenses of their children as they could not manage to pay back the debts incurred by their own school expenses in the past. An increasing number of students are quitting schools halfway, unable to pay the daily rising tuition fees. According to data available, 30,000 students are estimated to give up exam this year. The rich-poor gap is reflected in the education field, deepening social contradictions. Analysis of data in the 1960-2007 period made by experts of Michigan University said that the graduation rate between the rich and the poor reached over 50 percent since the 1980s. All facts go to prove that the American society advocating "equality for all " and "welfare" is a corrupt society with no future as the poor students are denied even the elementary opportunity of learning. |
