Talking about higher education, people would never forget
the college entrance examinations held in 1977. That
year, thanks to the resumption of the college entrance
examination system after a suspension of 10 long years
during the "cultural revolution" (1966-76),
5.7 million young people were able to enter examination
rooms that had been shut up for 11 years. Of them,
more than 270,000 won admissions.
