English transcription: 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 $2,675,000 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 near Seoul. This plant, which is now completed, will open on 16 September. It is expected that the plant will turn out 15,000,000 textbooks by the end of the year. Here is a view of the composing room, showing three photo composing machines. All the printing equipment is the most modern that could be procured and is (...) the equal of up-to-date plants in Europe and in America.
