Lucky Koreans! Starting this March, eligible female students will have a once-a-month menstrual leave. Quoted from an article:

The ministry said the move would protect the human rights of female students. Those taking the days off will not be penalized on their attendance records, and tests given on days they are absent will be scored at 80 to 100 percent of the score on the most recent tests they took.
