Ministry of Education Controverses Revision of Enforcement Decree of Private School Law..."Protecting private school corruption".

The private school foundation, whose executives were dismissed due to corruption, has been controversial over the removal of the enforcement ordinance of the Private School Act, which allowed directors to be recommended only for less than half of the quota.

On the 8th, the Ministry of Education deleted the relevant regulations, saying that the autonomy of the private school dispute mediation committee for the normalization of school corporations should be expanded.

In addition, when the issue of not posting the relevant legislative notice on the website was pointed out in the parliamentary audit, it said that publishing the website or distributing press releases are discretionary when revising the law.

In response, the National Movement Headquarters for Private School Reform and Corruption held a press conference today (25th) and criticized the provision as a minimum control device to secure the democratic operation of private schools.

At the same time, he claimed that the government explicitly paved the way for the private school foundation to privatize schools under the pretext of guaranteeing private school autonomy.
