: South Korean teachers are set to rally today and sit out of work to demand better protection of their rights and to protest what they say is widespread harassment by overbearing parents that has led colleagues to take their own lives.
Authorities said collective action by teachers to disrupt classes was illegal and warned of disciplinary measures. President Yoon Suk-yeol today ordered officials to listen to the teachers’ demands and work to protect their rights, his office said. Another 20,000 were expected to take to the streets today to join a demonstration near the parliament, organisers said.
