[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, expressed his welcome, saying that unstoppable reforms have begun following the passage of the operating room CCTV installation bill through the National Assembly's standing committee, and now the private school law amendment has also been passed.


On the 24th, Lee posted on Facebook titled "Passage of the Private School Law Amendment, Let's Start Unstoppable Reform," stating, "South Korea advances one step at a time like this," and expressed strong determination, saying, "We will move forward to a fair Korea without cheating and privileges, overcoming fierce resistance and backlash."


He continued, "The Private School Law amendment was passed by the National Assembly's Education Committee," explaining, "The core is to entrust the written examination to the relevant education office when hiring new private school staff."


In particular, he said, "Compared to the fair recruitment of private schools that Gyeonggi Province has been strongly promoting (in cooperation with the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education), the scope of entrustment is somewhat narrow, but this bill was passed overcoming numerous vested interest resistances," and expressed gratitude, saying, "I pay my respects to the Democratic Party education committee members who took the lead."


Furthermore, he criticized, "The hiring corruption of private school foundations, which occasionally makes the news, is not just a problem for a few victims," adding, "It is like driving a nail into the hearts of young people and citizens who desire a fair Korea."


Lee said, "Private school reform is the legacy of President Roh Moo-hyun," and evaluated, "He steadily moved forward despite harsh criticism, and although the then Grand National Party fiercely resisted with large-scale outdoor protests, today finally puts an end to that more than a decade-long history."



He promised, "There can be no sanctuary in a democratic republic, and I will surely prove this through unstoppable private school reform."
