    NAMYANGJU, SOUTH KOREA--When Kwangdong Middle School lets out, many of the students in this hardscrabble town northeast of Seoul head for pricey cram schools or private tutors for help with their studies. It's part of an educational rat race throughout primary and secondary education, culminating in entrance exams that determine which students get into Korea's elite universities. It's also a big business: The Hyundai Research Institute estimates that the average family spent 19% of its household income on extracurricular primary and secondary education in 2006. That investment totaled about $23 billion and represented 4% of the country's gross domestic product. In the same year, the Korean government spent only $21 billion on education. A recent government survey found that 77% of primary and secondary students were enrolled in various academic classes to supplement regular classroom instruction.
