South Korea's Food and Drug Administration is actively lobbying Congress to ban the sale of coffee in primary and secondary schools from next year to prevent students from consuming too much caffeine.

South Korea's current law forbids the sale of drinks with the words "high concentration of caffeine" in primary and secondary schools, but there is still a lot of room for loosening, such as allowing faculty and staff to buy coffee on campus, Yonhap news agency said.

South Korea's Food and Drug Administration wants Congress to amend legislation to "completely ban" refreshing drinks such as coffee on primary and secondary school campuses.

South Korea's Food and Drug Administration confirmed on the 12th that it is currently negotiating with Congress on the matter and hopes to implement the new rules from the beginning of next year. According to the administration, South Korean primary and secondary school students face the problem of excessive caffeine intake, suffering from side effects such as dizziness and sleep disorders.
