School violence system starting from the first semester of 2024
This makes a difference!
• The school violence system will change significantly from the first semester of 2024. We take serious measures against serious school violence, strengthen protective measures focusing on victims, and strengthen the ability to respond to school violence at each school level. In addition, a dedicated school violence investigator is responsible for investigating school violence issues, and we promise a violence-free school culture through the school culture responsibility code.
• Serious school violence is dealt with strictly by strengthening student records and management, and expanding the reflection of measures taken in college. In order to strengthen protection measures focusing on victimized students, measures such as extending the immediate separation period, strengthening emergency measures by school principals, establishing a new right to request separation of victimized students, and guaranteeing the victimized student’s right to make a statement are taken.
• In order to strengthen the ability to respond to school violence in individual schools, we are promoting the operation of the Zero School Violence Center, strengthening the educational coordination function of schools, and operating the school-student-parent school culture responsibility code. In addition, a dedicated school violence investigator is responsible for investigating school violence issues, and we promise a violence-free school culture through the school culture responsibility code.
