This campaign was organized to provide university members with an opportunity to recognize the importance of protecting teachers' rights amid the recent crisis of teachers' rights violations, and to contribute to establishing a happy university culture where the rights to education and learning are mutually respected through the expansion of consensus on protecting teachers' rights.

During the campaign, the College of Education Student Council took the lead in promoting the protection of teachers' rights to university members and distributed character memo pads and stickers engraved with messages about protecting teachers' rights.

Additionally, professors and students who participated in the on-site campaign wrote phrases expressing their wishes for the protection of teachers' rights and posted them on a bulletin board, reflecting on the significance of protecting teachers' rights.

Park Boon-hee, Dean of the College of Education, stated, "The active participation of students interested in protecting teachers' rights was the greatest driving force behind the successful progress of the campaign," and added, "We hope that this campaign will serve as an opportunity for a culture of protecting teachers' rights, shared by professors and all students, to be firmly established, and that the recognition that respecting teachers' rights is directly linked to protecting students' right to learn will widely spread."
