[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Koo Dae-sun] It has been revealed that a married male and female teacher at a high school in Daegu city were involved in an extramarital affair, resulting in the male teacher's dismissal.


According to the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education on the 12th, it was discovered that Mr. B, a married male teacher working at high school A in Daegu, and Ms. C, a married temporary female teacher, had been engaged in a long-term extramarital affair. After an investigation by the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education’s Audit Office, a disciplinary committee was held, which recommended the school foundation to impose a three-month suspension on Mr. B.


After receiving the disciplinary decision from the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education, the school foundation immediately held its own disciplinary committee and, after discussion, decided to dismiss Mr. B.


Mr. B is reportedly preparing to file an appeal with the Appeal Review Committee, arguing that the level of discipline is unfair.


Ms. C, the temporary female teacher, is said to have resigned from high school A and is currently working at another school.


An official from the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education’s Audit Office stated, “In many cases, schools issue disciplinary decisions similar to those imposed by the Office of Education, but there are also many cases where the level is higher or lower. If the school’s disciplinary level is lower than that of the Office of Education, the Office can request a re-examination, but if it is higher, the Office cannot intervene. If Mr. B wants to reduce the dismissal decision made by the school to a suspension or other lesser penalty, the only way is to file an appeal with the Appeal Review Committee.”



A Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education official added, “Since Ms. C, the temporary female teacher, has already resigned from the school where the issue occurred and moved to another school as a temporary teacher, this does not violate regulations, so the Office of Education cannot intervene.”
