Lee Jun-seok "Reckless Demonization of Private Education, Foolish Behavior"

"Attacking High-Income Private Education Users Is Not a Conservative's Job"

Former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok evaluated President Yoon Suk-yeol's controversy over the 'easy College Scholastic Ability Test' (CSAT) on the 20th, saying, "It is a bewildering direction ahead of the general election to abruptly shift to attacking the private education industry in order to make up for the poor response after making a bold move regarding the CSAT."

On the same day, Lee said on Facebook, "First of all, attacking instructors in the private education industry as high-income earners is fundamentally not something conservatives should do," adding, "They are simply engaging in profit-making activities within the bounds of the law."

He continued, "The private education industry is truly a jungle where rise and fall happen rapidly," and pointed out, "If an instructor is respected in that industry, it means that hundreds of thousands who have watched their lectures have given them a fair and positive evaluation, and even after students advance based on interest and ability, the instructor remains a positive image to their students."

He then criticized, "Recklessly demonizing these people is not only logically weak but also a foolish strategic move."

President Yoon recently proposed the 'Fair CSAT Theory,' saying that the creation of 'killer questions' (ultra-difficult questions) is "like playing with vulnerable children." He argued that fairness is ensured by fair discrimination within the public education curriculum, and that 'killer questions' are pushing students toward private education.
