The Ministry of Education said, "The person in charge of leaking essays should be strictly punished."

When President Yoon Suk Yeol instructed Yonsei University to thoroughly reprimand the person in charge in connection with the controversy over the leakage of essay questions for occasional recruitment, the Ministry of Education also announced a strict response policy.

The Ministry of Education said in a notice today that it has asked Yonsei University to hold the person responsible strictly accountable for the leakage of the essay exam and thoroughly manage it to prevent this from happening again.

He then explained that it is the university's responsibility to operate the college admission process fairly, and accordingly, it is necessary to quickly grasp the exact facts, such as the details of the controversy over the leakage of the problem from time to time.

The Ministry of Education added that Yonsei University is taking the matter seriously and requesting an investigation and conducting its own investigation.

In a regular briefing held yesterday (14th), the Ministry of Education said it would strengthen monitoring with the school in connection with the incident, but said it would be difficult to interfere with individual university essay tests because the head of the university has to take care of it.
