South Korea medical students end 17-month boycott of classes

South Korea's medical students have ended their 17-month boycott of classes amid a government pledge to review policies that led to a crackdown on protesters, according to BBC. The students have been protesting policies that they believe advantage the wealthy. The government agreed to review the policies and create a plan to increase equity. The students have also demanded that more be done to increase diversity among medical school applicants. The students will return to classes on February 28, ending the boycott.
