Gyeonggi Province Education Governor-elect An Min-seok emphasized the need to introduce a 'Teacher Rights Protection Bureau' within the reality of 'Real Education'.

The governor-elect appeared as a guest on CBS's 'Park Sung-tae's News Show' on the 16th.

On this day, the governor-elect discussed the OTT Netflix series 'Real Education' with the host. This was a response to voices calling for the introduction of the Teacher Rights Protection Bureau led by Inspector Na Hwa-jin (played by Kim Mu-yeol), a former member of the Special Warfare Command, into reality.

The governor-elect stated, "I also found the fifth episode, which reminded me of the Seoi-cho incident, the most impressive. Therefore, I believe the Minister of Education must also make a decisive judgment. It is time to take effective action on how to protect teacher rights and the right to learning. There is a famous line: 'If adults are afraid of children, the world will fall apart.' Currently, children are so afraid that teachers cannot educate properly. We cannot leave this as it is."

He continued, "I have been both a teacher and a professor. The current state of schools shows that teacher rights have collapsed, leading to a comprehensive crisis in education. We cannot scold children, nor can we punish misguided children. Such school classrooms have led parents to lose trust. Parents trust cram schools more than schools."

Especially, the governor-elect said, "Therefore, I believe it is time for us to make a decision and take action. The Teacher Rights Protection Bureau in 'Real Education' is difficult to exist in reality. We must not punish with violence." He added, "I am currently designing a 'Education Activity Protection Bureau' that can protect both teacher rights and the right to learning through the Transition Committee. It is a Gyeonggi-style Teacher Rights Protection Bureau. Since both teacher rights and the right to learning are important, I think an 'Education Activity Protection Bureau' that protects both would be appropriate. This is not final."

Furthermore, the governor-elect said, "First, among teachers with teaching qualifications, there are surprisingly many former members of the Marine Corps, Special Warfare Command, and Airborne units. I am proposing a public discussion forum on Facebook, and I have received messages on my KakaoTalk saying, 'I am from the 1st Airborne Brigade,' or 'I am a teacher at a certain school, and if you create such a unit, I would like to join.' There are even lawyers."

Messages saying, "I will become Gyeonggi's Na Hwa-jin," poured in. The governor-elect stated, "After checking with people around me, I believe we can secure enough people to fulfill such a role. About 20 to 30 people. Therefore, for schools in crisis, problematic schools, or schools with problematic students where teachers cannot maintain control, I think it is necessary to deploy them immediately to change the school atmosphere through guidance and admonition rather than violent punishment. Violence is absolutely not allowed."

He continued, "We will hold a debate at the National Assembly next week on how to operate this. If on-site experts provide various opinions there, a more concrete plan will likely emerge. What is certain is that we cannot leave things as they are."
