Even before taking office, Minister Park Soon-ae was criticized for being under the influence of alcohol and for publishing a thesis in several places in the past, but she started her ministry without going through a personnel hearing.

Then, when she suddenly announced her plan to reorganize the school system, her parents strongly objected, and after that, she was forced to resign after about a month in the controversy over her lack of professionalism and lack of communication.

Minister Park Soon-ae drew a backlash from the education community because of her drunk driving facts that were revealed shortly after her nomination.



She said that even just one DUI was unacceptable for her to be the head of a 0.251% drunk driving career in education, where promotion to principal is limited.



She was later accused of inflating her research achievements by publishing one paper in multiple journals.



But she accepted her letter of appointment without a hearing in the midst of a battle between the opposition parties.

[Park Soon-ae / Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education (last July 5): There is no personal hearing (personnel hearing), but if there are any necessary parts in the personnel verification process, I will explain again.

Again, I apologize for these matters.]



Despite the opposition's offensive, Minister Park did not accept criticism of morality.



[Seo Dong-yong/Rep. of the Democratic Party: I received a research denial for self-plagiarism, and was banned from posting by the journal.

That's right?]



[Park Soon-ae / Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education: I didn't do this by plagiarizing myself.

I voluntarily withdrew.] The



abrupt announcement of the reorganization of the school system caused controversy over lack of professionalism and led to controversy.



Despite the heavy rain and heat wave, the parents' protests continued, and they couldn't stand it any longer.



[Resign immediately!

resign!

resign!

Resign !]



After Minister Kim In-cheol resigned due to various allegations such as a Fulbright family scholarship student, even Minister Park Soon-ae, who had joined the rescue team, also dropped out of the horse.



The Ministry of Education previously said that it would confirm the plan for early schooling through a public debate, but it is expected that the plan for early school enrollment for 5-year-olds will be scrapped because even the head of the school lost its head due to public opposition.
