(Currently, most middle school students in Korea go to high schools near their homes based on a lottery. The system was introduced in 1974 to curb private tutoring that had been described as a "nation-ruining illness" and ensure "egalitarianism" in education. In part, it has helped address some problems, such as the excessive competition among middle school students to enter elite high schools. What was lost, however, was the pursuit of excellence, which should be a key element of secondary education.) 여기서 질문이 있는데,, it이 정확히 뭘 지칭하는지 모르겠어, 뺑뺑이 제도를 말하는건지, 사교육을 말하는건지... 그리고 helped address some problems라는 곳에서 address는 어떻게 사용된거야? 명사인지 동사인지 모르겠고, 어떤 뜻을 사용했는지 감을 못 잡겠네... 2. 맨 마지막 문장이 다음과 같아 It is sad to see the Education Ministry trying to turn back the clock. 여기서 turn back the clock를 "시대에 역행하다" 이런식으로 해석을 해도 될까... 아니면 다른 방식으로 해석해야 되는거야? 3. 지금 이 정책에 대해서 다들 어떻게 생각하는지 궁금하네
