S Korean president pledges education reform

"Education reform is one of the primary tasks of our government this year," Lee said in his biweekly radio address.

"We will hold a meeting every month to review our education policy and will do our best to have the students, parents, and teachers sense a real change happening," Lee added.

Lee's announcement came after scores of pictures depicting naked teenagers on graduation day started floating online recently, which local media said was a graduation ceremony ritual largely stemming from school violence.

Last week, Lee called the problem a "cultural issue" and a " serious illness" to the society, adding "We should approach the issue with our culture of education in mind", Kazinform cites Xinhua. See www.news.xinhuanet.com for full version.
