Hong Jun-pyo Proposes Three Bills to Prevent Jeon-gyo-jo's Overreach

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hye-min] On the 29th, independent lawmaker Hong Jun-pyo proposed the so-called 'Three Acts to Prevent the Overreach of Jeon-gyo-jo.'

The amendment to the Act on the Establishment and Operation of Teachers' Labor Unions proposed by Rep. Hong focuses on allowing the dissolution of teachers' unions in cases of violence or destructive acts. It also includes measures to prevent the misuse of union dues and to ensure accounting transparency. Additionally, retired teachers are prohibited from joining the union. Punishment provisions were established to block the union's political activities.

Furthermore, the amendment to the Higher Education Act stipulates that only CSAT scores should be used for college admissions, and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act was proposed to prohibit elementary and secondary school teachers from inciting students to support or oppose specific political parties.

Rep. Hong stated, "This completes the legislative proposals of the pledges I presented during the 2017 Liberty Korea Party (now the United Future Party) presidential candidacy."
