Teacher Related to '9·4 Public Education Stop Day' Reported for Alleged Violation of the National Public Service Act
Police Notify Start of Investigation on the Teacher
A teacher who had prepared the 'Day of Stopping Public Education' on September 4 to mourn the death of an elementary school teacher in Seocho-gu, Seoul, has been reported on charges of violating the National Public Service Act.
According to the National Assembly Education Committee member Minseok Ahn of the Democratic Party of Korea, who disclosed the National Audit data on the 19th, the Jongno Police Station in Seoul sent a notice of investigation commencement regarding teacher A in the Seoul area to the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education last month.
According to the National Public Service Act and the Private School Act, when an audit or investigation is conducted by the Board of Audit and Inspection, prosecution, or police, the head of the affiliated institution is notified of the fact.
In the notice, the police stated that they have begun an investigation into A on suspicion of violating the National Public Service Act by designating September 4, 2023, as the 'Day of Stopping Public Education' and promoting collective leave and collective action through a website.

A was active online, posting opinions related to the 'Day of Stopping Public Education' memorial. However, as the government defined taking leave or sick leave to participate in the memorial as illegal activity and announced a strong response stance, opinions on the method of mourning diverged. A closed the website, stating that teachers should not suffer disadvantages or conflict with each other.
It has been confirmed that there are no similar cases like A’s in education offices nationwide.
