Some schools penalize students for not wearing white underwear.



Although the Enforcement Decree of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act has been revised, requiring information on appearance as school regulations, there are still schools that adhere to the existing school regulations.

[Jeonju B high school student: Don't wear patterns (underwear) because they don't look pretty, and don't wear colored underwear because they look sexy when seen through...

If you think about that, it seems a little unfair.]



Last year's elementary and secondary education law enforcement decree was revised, and the provision that'appearance matters' must be entered in the school regulations has been deleted.



However, about 1 out of 4 girls' middle and high schools in Seoul adhere to the existing school rules related to dress regulation.

Although the enforcement decree has been revised, the higher level of the Law on Elementary and Secondary Education guarantees the principal's autonomy over school regulations.



It is pointed out that the human rights of students should be guaranteed as well as the autonomy of each school.
