The Democratic Party of Korea stated today (July 18), marking the third anniversary of the death of a teacher at Seoi Elementary School, that "the Democratic Party will fulfill its responsibility to the end to create a school environment where teachers can teach with peace of mind and children can learn fully."

Spokesperson Kim Han-na issued a commentary on this day, pointing out, "Since the Seoi Elementary School incident, we have faced the reality of collapsed educational authority and the state of our schools." She added, "Even three years later, many teachers still stand at the podium in fear of malicious complaints and indiscriminate reporting."
