Teacher Kim Yong-wan of Asan Mosan Middle School proposed a national petition called 'True Education Act' to strengthen teachers' rights in guiding students' lives. This bill includes blocking malicious petitions, establishing legal grounds for legitimate life guidance, and expanding teachers' educational authority over disruptive students. In particular, it allows teachers to directly guide after-school classes (up to 2 hours) or order a day of absence suspension under certain conditions. Kim emphasized that this bill would contribute to solving the problem of infringement of teacher rights and guaranteeing students' right to learn. However, concerns have been raised about the possibility of abuse of teacher authority, and there are opinions that the reasons for absence suspension, procedures, and post-evaluation criteria should be clearly defined.
