Various 'Legal Violations' Confirmed at Gwangju TCS International School

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Various legal violations have been confirmed at Gwangju TCS International School, where a large-scale group infection recently occurred.

According to Gwangju Metropolitan City on the 29th, the city conducted a legal review by experts on Gwangju TCS International School and others.

As a result, violations of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the Act on the Establishment and Operation of Private Institutes and Private Tutoring, the Food Sanitation Act, and the Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Act were confirmed.

However, since this is a nationwide issue, the city proposed at the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters meeting that morning to devise government-level response measures for unauthorized educational facilities nationwide.

This measure was taken based on the judgment that because these institutions have mutual exchange relationships, simultaneous nationwide responses are necessary to effectively block the spread of infection.

Meanwhile, in the Gwangju area, COVID-19 community infections are rapidly spreading, mainly centered around religious groups.

Regarding Gwangju TCS International School, 118 people have tested positive, along with 40 related to Ace International School and 54 related to Antioch Church.
