A private school foundation in Gyeonggi-do was caught after taking a large sum of money in exchange for hiring a full-time teacher. They explicitly demanded money and valuables and gave information on the questions and answers of the recruitment exam, but at the time, there were no successful applicants who did not go through this process.



Reporter Kim Sang-min reports.

A private school employee is talking to an applicant ahead of hiring a full-time teacher.



[Private School Staff - Applicant's Call (January of last year): The problem will be told in advance when Teacher ○○ meets later. It's all done by drawing, so it's a story. (Oh really?) Yeah, I don't do that and what do I do, push forward. If you don't do it this way... (Yes, that's right.) The reality is that you can't become a teacher at a private school... .]



After a while, the promise was kept.



[Private school teacher-applicant call (February of last year): I'll call you (interview) questions. Three more questions added. (Question) The professor said it was a 'killer question', so write it down, okay. (Yes. Please tell me.) 1. To improve the quality of school welfare… .] At the



beginning of last year, 488 people flocked to hire teachers at a private school foundation in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do.



Only 13 people passed through a competitive ratio of about 40 to 1, but all of them were applicants who were given questions or answers in advance in this way.



The blatant misconduct was quickly brought to light by the audit of the school district.



One math subject with perfect scores wrote only the correct answers without answering 17 of the 25 questions, and two people who took the Korean language test wrote down the same incorrect answers.



[Private school teacher - perfect score in math subjects: How many maths are wrong? (Mathematics, I wrote down all the correct answers first.) Did you write down all the correct answers? (Yes.) Pedagogy? (Pedagogy also wrote down all the correct answers.) Oops, I only got one or two wrong. (They said there were too many applicants….) There are only one or two 80-pointers, as well as education.]



Eventually, a police investigation revealed an ugly money trade.



The president of the foundation and his son, the head of administration, had two close teachers look for applicants to pay.



Even a mediation broker intervened and took over 1.8 billion won.



[At the time, the victim of the recruitment test (dismissed): (there was no relief procedure) In a way, we are in the hands of a 'Nakdong River duck egg'. To be honest, would I have investigated if this had not been reported? It was only then that people complained about everything in the newspaper. .] The



police handed over 36 people, including the president of the foundation, the applicants who gave money, and their parents, to the prosecution.
