- South Korea's education ministry said on Friday it had agreed to freeze the number of new medical students at about 3,000 per year in a bid to end a 13-month dispute involving a walkout by trainee doctors and boycotting of classes.

Education minister Lee Ju-ho said, however, that the plan could only go ahead if all of the trainee doctors returned.
