[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education Yoo Eun-hye stated on the 7th at the National Assembly Education Committee's audit regarding the recent death of a Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries official, "We will ensure that the child does not get hurt and can proceed well with their career path."

On the same day, Bae Jun-young, a member of the People Power Party, questioned, "If the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries official is not recognized as having died in the line of duty, they cannot receive pensions, etc. Is it possible to provide tuition support or education vouchers for the child who suddenly lost their father when entering university?"

In response, Deputy Prime Minister Yoo said, "This is something I had not considered," and added, "I will look into what kind of support can be provided overall for future career paths or education." Regarding the letter written by the son, she also said, "It is heartbreaking and painful."

Earlier, concerning the criticism that a photo from the April 2018 Panmunjom Summit was included in a high school history textbook amid the recent killing of a public official by North Korean soldiers, she drew a line against bias allegations by stating, "The photo was used to describe historical facts."

Deputy Prime Minister Yoo explained, "It is necessary to learn historical facts, and since history textbooks are subject to a review system, the writers can write according to the standards."
