Most teachers in Gyeonggi Province believe that separate education is necessary for students who disrupt legitimate educational activities.
According to a survey conducted by the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education from the 27th of last month for five days, commissioned to the polling specialist agency Research & Research, 97.9% of 11,004 teachers working at kindergartens, elementary, middle, high, and special schools in the province agreed on the necessity of separate education for students who disrupt educational activities.
Teachers who responded that separate education is necessary cited reasons such as ▲ protecting the learning rights of other students and teachers' rights to teach ▲ raising awareness of responsibility for disruptive behavior ▲ and the psychological and emotional stability of the student in question.
Among the measures taken against disruption of educational activities, 97.0% agreed with the mandatory special education for students and parents.
Im Tae-hee, Superintendent of Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, previously promised that students who disrupt educational activities would be placed in separate education to receive proper diagnosis and treatment, systematic education and healing, before returning to school.
