It turns out that half of the teachers who had been disciplined for sexual misconduct at school had quietly returned to school.



Lee Tan-hee, a member of the National Assembly's Board of Education and Democratic Party, released data received from 17 provincial offices of education nationwide during a national audit on the 21st.

According to this

, 524, about half of the 1,093 teachers who committed sexual violence, forced harassment, confinement, and sexual harassment from 2011 to August, returned

to the

denomination

.




● As



an example, the

current law does not preclude the return of'sex abuse teachers'

. In 2019, a 6th grade teacher at an elementary school in Gyeongnam was relegated to the disciplinary committee for making sexual words and actions by touching a part of her body by putting her hand under the clothes of a female student in her class.



However, it is known that the teacher returned to the same school in July of this year and took over the duties of the 4th grade class, despite the severe disciplinary action taken by three months of suspension and restrictions on promotion.



The Gyeongnam Office of Education said it is planning to wait and order the teacher again when the problem arises, but there is no way to prevent another'sex abuse teacher' from returning to the same school as there is no relevant regulation yet.




● Rep. Tan-hee Lee, CEO of the'Sex Crime Clean School Act' Rep. Lee pointed out that "The'One



Strike Out System' introduced by the Ministry of Education 5 years ago is not working at all in the field." The “One Strike Out” system, which takes intolerance, refers to punishment immediately without warning when an illegal act is committed.



At the same time, Congressman Lee revealed that it is representative of the so-called'Sex Crime Clean School Act' (Act on the Prevention and Countermeasures of School Violence, Private Schools Act, and Education Public Officials Act) that separates teachers and victims involved in sexual crime cases.



The amendment is ▲Immediately separate the perpetrators (including teachers) from the victims in cases of violence, bullying, and sexual violence in the same school ▲Reinforce the composition of the teacher disciplinary committee for private schools to the level of the national and public level and participate in the deliberation process with parents ▲Teachers are students Contents such as exclusion from the homeroom teacher in case of sexual abuse targeting
