The Children and Family Welfare Treatment Research Center held its regular academic seminar for 2023 on Wednesday, November 15, at Ilji Hall. The seminar was centered on the topic “Conflicts between the Child Welfare Act and the Teachers’ Rights: What is the Problem?” and examined the challenges teachers who struggle with “reports on child abuse” face in relation to the issues on the Child Welfare Act and explored alternatives. Many teachers, students majoring in education, professors, officials from the Office of Education, and residents attended the event and earnestly engaged in presentations and discussions. Teachers Jeong Ji-yoon and Kim Seung-hyeon, who are members of the “Planning Team for Normalizing Public Education,” a voluntary group of teachers who are leading the movement to revise the law, shared cases and called for an urgent revision of the law so that teachers can perform their proper duty of teaching. Lawyer Park Sang-soo, who has experience participating in an unconstitutionality lawsuit against Clause 5, Article 17 of the Child Welfare Act, pointed out that teachers tend to be dragged into child abuse cases because school violence is handled in schools. Lawyer Lee Jeong-min, who worked to get the death of the late Lee Yeong-seung, a teacher at Howon Elementary School in Uijeongbu, to be recognized as a death in duty, commented that the criteria for work-relatedness should be changed and that standing by and thinking “the best response is to let everything go its course,” we would be “unable to protect the people who cannot let it go.” Lawyer Jeon Hyeon-min, who is advocating for a special education teacher who is on trial for child abuse, stressed that a special act for disputes on teachers’ rights should be established and that we need to clarify the priority of applying laws in child abuse and teachers’ rights by referring to foreign cases. The Children and Family Welfare Treatment Research Center is a newly established institute that opened in March 2022 to research issues related to neighbors neglected in the education sector and issues concerning children, teenagers, families, and teachers experiencing difficulties. The institute also volunteers and implements various programs in collaboration with relevant institutions in the local society. Starting this year, the Graduate School plans to launch and run a convergence major on welfare and treatment.
