The Colonial Experience

     While under Japanese rule, South Koreans were treated realtivley fairly, and the Japanese government would only step in when they needed to. At times the Japanese would have to censor Korean news to stop slander from being released to the public. But even during moments of stress towards the Japanese government, they managed to reform the education system in Korea bringing a new ago of learning and science to the country. However all classes were primarily about Japan, and taught in Japanese. If a student wanted to learn Korean was still offered as an elective. After Japan’s reign in Korea ended, the generations of people that they educated became known as, “the core of the postwar political and economic elite.”
