Despite the remarkable growth of Korean education, this book sheds light on 'repressive' Korean education where critical thinking and action, which are essential for living in a democratic society, are considered as threats to society and thus regulated.

Drawing on research findings and many case examples, the author particularly highlights that the concept of educational neutrality has been used by conservative forces as a means of shrinking space for the critical in the field of education, which mirrors the very Korean war-political situation.
