[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Two teachers who installed illegal cameras in the women's restroom at their workplace school have been dismissed.

On the 10th, the Gyeongnam Provincial Office of Education announced that it held a disciplinary committee applying the expedited disciplinary procedure for sexual violence and decided to dismiss the teachers.

The Gyeongnam Provincial Office of Education explained that since the disciplinary reasons related to sexual misconduct were recognized, the procedure was carried out separately from criminal punishment, resulting in dismissal.

Based on the investigation results of the Sexual Violence Citizen Participation Investigation Team composed of external experts, the Sexual Harassment and Sexual Violence Deliberation Committee was held on the 3rd.

Earlier, a teacher in his 40s, Mr. A, installed an illegal camera in the toilet bowl of the women's restroom on the first floor of a high school in Gimhae City on June 24.

The camera was discovered about two minutes after installation by a worker cleaning the restroom at the time.

Police investigations revealed that Mr. A had also installed cameras at schools and training centers where he previously worked.

Additionally, on June 26, an illegal camera was found in the toilet bowl of the women's restroom on the second floor of a middle school in Changnyeong by a staff member.

When the police investigation began, Mr. B, a teacher in his 30s at that school, confessed that he had installed it himself.
