The Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Teachers' Association Federation demanded that the Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education clarify the position, authority, and command structure of the dispatched teachers from the Jeonbuk Education Human Rights Center.
On the 7th, the Jeonbuk Teachers' Association issued a statement stating, "The position, title, authority, and command structure related to the operation of dispatched teachers from the Jeonbuk Education Human Rights Center are not clearly communicated to schools," and argued that the basis for using the title 'Education Human Rights Protector' and the scope of duties of dispatched teachers should be clearly defined.
The Jeonbuk Teachers' Association emphasized that as the Education Human Rights Center deals with sensitive issues such as violations of educational rights, child abuse reports, school violence, and student rights, it is essential for the actual position, authority, and command structure of the personnel visiting schools to be clear.
In particular, the Jeonbuk Teachers' Association explained that the Education Office has a system where a Grade 5 equivalent Education Rights Protector, the center director, scholarship officer, legal support staff, etc., divide roles to handle cases of educational rights violations and support for affected teachers.
According to the Jeonbuk Teachers' Association, there have been cases where Education Human Rights Center officials visiting schools were mistaken for 'scholarship officers' by the school staff, leading to confusion.
The Jeonbuk Teachers' Association stated, "This is not a problem that can be overlooked as a mere misunderstanding in expression," and expressed that in cases of educational rights violations, confusion may arise in schools if the position and authority of the personnel are unclear, as it can lead to issues ranging from protecting affected teachers and responding to students and parents, to legal disputes and determining whose judgment the school should follow.
The Jeonbuk Teachers' Association also claimed that there have been instances where dispatched teachers from the Education Human Rights Center introduced themselves as 'Education Human Rights Protectors' in external communications. The association explained that such messages included statements like "Became an Education Human Rights Protector as of September 1" along with a commitment to listen to the opinions of schools and teachers facing difficulties due to educational rights violations.
The Jeonbuk Teachers' Association demanded transparency regarding the basis for the title 'Education Human Rights Protector' within the Jeonbuk Education Office's official system, stating that if dispatched teachers use this title separate from the existing 'Education Rights Protector' system, the basis and scope of authority of the title should be disclosed.
However, the association clarified that they do not have an issue with experienced teachers being dispatched to the Education Office.
Jeonbuk Teachers' Association Chairman Oh Jun-young stated, "Jeonbuk already has a system in place for handling educational rights protection centered around Grade 5 equivalent Education Rights Protectors," and added, "In such a situation, if dispatched teachers use a title like 'Education Human Rights Protector' without clear justification and are mistakenly perceived at the school level to have the same authority as existing Education Rights Protectors or scholarship officers, it can lead to confusion."
He further emphasized, "In cases of educational rights violations, what is important at the scene is not just a plausible title but accurate legal support, a clear responsibility system, and prompt protective measures," and urged the Jeonbuk Education Office to transparently clarify the name and organizational operation of the Education Human Rights Center, the duties and command structure of dispatched teachers, and resolve confusion at the scene.
The Jeonbuk Teachers' Association demanded official guidance from the Jeonbuk Education Office on the use of the title 'Education Human Rights Protector,' along with the disclosure of the legal and administrative basis, differentiation of roles between existing Education Rights Protectors and dispatched teachers, accurate positions and duties of dispatched teachers, and notification of school visit rights.
The association also argued for the disclosure of the command and responsibility system among the center director, Education Rights Protectors, scholarship officers, lawyers, and dispatched teachers, and clear notification of the actual position, purpose of the visit, and scope of authority of the personnel to both affected teachers and schools during school visits.
The Jeonbuk Teachers' Association stated, "At the moment the educational rights protection system causes confusion at the scene, affected teachers may once again become anxious," and declared, "We will continue to respond until a reliable educational rights protection system that affected teachers can trust is established."
