By Kim Bo-eun

At Sunil Middle School in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, 70 percent of the students have multicultural backgrounds. Students from Russian-speaking countries account for more than 74 percent of those children.

Sunil has students from Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, as new students continue to enroll at the school after their parents came to Korea seeking a higher income and better living conditions.
