Eradicating Illegal Filming on Campus... Busan Office of Education Conducts Camera Detection Inspections

Busan Metropolitan Office of Education is launching an inspection to detect hidden cameras within schools to eradicate illegal filming activities.

To create schools safe from illegal filming, which has recently caused many social issues, the Busan Office of Education will conduct hidden camera detection inspections by the end of this year at a total of 649 institutions, including all schools, lifelong education facilities, and alternative education institutions in the Busan area.

This inspection will focus on locations with a high risk of illegal filming, such as restrooms, changing rooms, and shower rooms, to alleviate the anxiety of students and staff.

The inspections will be carried out four times a year at each school by teams of two (one male and one female) consisting of employees from specialized hidden camera detection agencies and school officials.

In particular, female restrooms will be inspected together with female staff members, and if any illegal filming cameras are found during the inspection, they will be immediately reported to the police.

Additionally, a cooperative system for preventing sexual crimes will be established, including monthly joint inspections of selected schools by related organizations such as the Office of Education, schools, and the police agency.

Kim Beom-gyu, Director of Character Education, Physical Education, and School Meals at the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, stated, “We will eradicate illegal filming within schools through regular and thorough inspections,” and added, “We will do our best to create schools where students and staff are safe from illegal filming.”
