Why South Korean teachers are at breaking point

15,000 people dressed in black attended an illegal rally on Monday in Seoul.
This massive protest was triggered after three teacher suicides happened in South Korea in as many months. The first was a young teacher in Seoul who took her own life in July after expressing anxiety over complaints from abusive parents.

Teachers are now demanding better protection for themselves amid growing outrage about teaching staff being mistreated, including being accused of child abuse for disciplining students. In this episode of The Briefing Jan Fran finds out just what’s going on with Korea Pro’s John Lee who’s on the ground in Seoul.

Headlines:

  • Anthony Albanese invited to meet president Xi Jinping in China
  • Philip Lowe delivered his final speech
  • 3,000 new entries for the Macquarie Dictionary
