[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, announced on the 14th that all private schools in Gyeonggi Province with teacher recruitment plans for next year will entrust all recruitment processes to the Office of Education, stating, "It was possible to achieve today's reform by continuing the will of President Roh Moo-hyun."

Through Facebook on the same day, Candidate Lee said, "When I announced the fair recruitment measures for private schools, many people worried, recalling what President Roh Moo-hyun went through. Looking back, it was really harsh at that time," adding, "Regarding the amendment of the Private School Act, the chaebol private school foundations, the Grand National Party entangled as a community of fate with them, and the conservative media formed a tripartite alliance and fiercely resisted, even going out for large-scale protests."

He continued, "However, President Roh endured resistance and criticism and opened the way for reform, and by continuing his will, today's reform became possible," emphasizing, "I also reaffirm that reforming the vested interest cartel is reforming the livelihood of the people."

Candidate Lee raised his voice, saying, "The Lee Jae-myung government will be a government that creates rational alternatives and practical measures to change the lives of the people without fear," and "We will not be shaken by the strong resistance of vested interests and will establish the value of fairness in our society one by one."

He added, "I will go further along the path that President Roh opened boldly."
