The best suicide technology in the world (nuclear technology?)
darkjedi:
Well, ok.
But you can very well bet that the next generation of South Korean scientists will be among the best in the world, if the current youth's scientific literacy is any indication. (high school students of today will be the scientists of 20 years later, right?)
But because the older South Koreans are stupid (some 20-odd parliaments) and necrotic the talents of Korean youths are not cultivated very well. Despite our economic growth most kids are still living in constant state of employment poverty. You'll see that most of the people who work in the South Korean nuclear industry and space programs are often older than they are young, while it's the youth which contain the most skilled workers.
It's starkly contrasting to the Iranian's tendency of giving more difficult jobs to the younger generations. Iran's employed scientists are better than Korea's employed scientists precisely because the younger and better scientists in Korea are being neglected. To put it simply, the good scientists in Korea are the unemployed ones, and vice versa for Iran.

i didnt see where they defined how they as classify scientific literacy, because scientific literacy also doesnt = working on technological advancement or good engineers or anything along those lines. Its like saying just because everyone in country X is literate doesnt mean that most of the people read books or anything for that matter.

I forgot to answer this:

Can't be, because then the students will be required to answer in English, and 99% of Korean students can't properly comprehend even grade school level English. I myself hasn't ever been called for an evaluation either. It means that they are not in a hurry to look for Korean high school students who can comprehend secondary level English.
So most likely it's an 'international evaluation', not an evaluation of international students, because there are too few international Korean students [who can speak good English] to get a reliable sample from.

Indeed, it doesn't. However, literacy of a generation is a major factor in extrapolating the strength of a country's labor force. Labor force also happens to be a major factor in any industrial or technological endeavor, like nuclear and space programs.
Current projections show that the labor force of Japan and South Korea in the next generation (2020's) will still be more skillful than their American or European counterparts, because we have more 'talent potential'. (dunno what it's called in English; it's something like the measure of latent capabilities of today's youth)

I wanted to show this.
Iranian space technology
I wonder if it's real. >.>

The biggest problem with asian countries is that people work too hard. When working hard, you have less time for your creativity and therefore will never make the big inventions. There is a point when people are not taught something, but make a thesis themselves. Working conditions in the west allows people to be creative and that is why all the "basis" technology is invented here. However all that hard work will grant you rapid improvements on the stuff already created by us. I have hundreds of examples for that.
Good scientists? maybe, good human calculating machines... yeah, definitely.
