Angelina Jolie has spoken about where her 18-year-old son Maddox's educational future lies after the coronavirus restrictions are lifted.
The 44-year-old actress is self-isolating with her children, with Maddox returning from Yonsei University in Seoul to be with her.
Angelina said that she "couldn’t be happier" with the choices that Maddox was making when speaking to DongA Daily .
Maddox has been studying biotechnology in South Korea but since the coronavirus pandemic, the semester was cancelled and he returned to the United States.
Speaking about her son's situation, she told the publication: "I could not be happier about Mad’s choice of university. It is of course closed at the moment because of the pandemic..
"But he’s not transferring school, he’ll be going back as soon as things settle. He’s using the time to focus on his Korean and Russian studies."
Angelina also said that she admires South Korea as a country and praised it for becoming "such a successful modern economy while also preserving the culture and values that have made it unique for centuries."
The Maleficent star continued: "Nearly a billion young people globally are out of education, because of school and university shutdowns.
"There’s an urgent need to help young people to continue their education, through distance learning for example, to ensure they are able to get their qualifications and that they get the other kinds of support they need."
Angelina shares her children - Maddox, Pax, 16, Zahara,15, Shiloh, 13 and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, with ex-husband Brad Pitt.
With the Oscar-winning actor unable to see his children due to current restrictions, Angelina reinforced how well her and the children work as a family unit.
She also went on to say that they are looking forward to spending more time in South Korea in the future.
Angelina said: "We are all so happy as a family that we will have the opportunity to get to know South Korea even better through Maddox, and with him, during his studies."
