Headline Reconstruction of Korea's New Textbook Printing Plant 
Caption Description Steel skeletons begin to take shape as Korean men and women work on constructing the textbook printing plants at Yongdongpo near Seoul, Korea. The United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency is building the structure as part of its program in education. The UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization is installing modem printing presses at a cost of $100,000. 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 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. The plant will open on 16 September. It is expected that the plant will turn out 15,000,000 textbooks by the end of the year.
This photograph of the plant site was taken at an early stage of construction.
