The Republic of Korean Government and the UN Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA) have begun a program to help meet the need for the million new dwellings required to house the refugees. In the educational field, by 1953, UNKRA had allocated nearly $8,500,000 to rebuild South Korea's educational system. In 1954, the Agency plans to spend another $2,875,000 on education, if enough funds are forthcoming.
