Korea's New Textbook Printing Plant
Caption Description
By 1953, the United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA) had allocated nearly $8,500,000 to rebuild South Korea's educational system. This year, if enough funds are forthcoming, the Agency plans to spend another $2,875,000 for the same purpose. Some 300,000 textbooks; have been bought for the drive against illiteracy. More than 3,000 tons of paper have been imported to print another 38,000,000 textbooks. The Government of Korea and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) worked with UNKRA on a textbook printing plant, near Seoul.
This plant, which opened on 16 September, is already producing the schoolbooks at a near-capacity rate. This month, the daily output of the plant averaged 80,000 books, printed, folded, bound and delivered to the warehouses of the ROK Ministry of Education for distribution to the schools.
Here the books are coming out of the automatic sorting and stitching machine, which collates the pages and stitches them with wire staples. On both sides are stacks of finished books.
