"History 
education should never divide the people and students over political 
strife or ideological confrontation," Park said in a meeting with her 
top aides.President Park Geun-hye called for a correct recognition of history 
Tuesday as she asked lawmakers not to divide the public sentiment with 
an unnecessary controversy over history textbooks.On Monday, the government announced its plan to 
reintroduce state history textbooks for secondary school students to 
address what it calls the predominantly left-leaning contents in current
 books.The Ministry of Education said history textbooks for 
middle and high school students will be authored by the government 
starting in the 2017 school year.Currently, history textbooks 
are published by eight private publishing companies after being approved
 by an independent textbook review committee of experts. Schools choose 
from any of the eight textbooks, while primary schools have a single set
 of state-authored history textbooks.<br />
