Teachers are protesting what they say is widespread harassment by overbearing parents after an elementary school teacher was found dead in an apparent suicide.
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korean teachers are set to rally on Monday 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.
The number of teachers who stayed away from class was not immediately clear, but local media said dozens of schools across the country were expected to close because teachers said they would not work. In July, an elementary school teacher was found dead at school after reportedly expressing anxiety over complaints from a parent over a dispute among students.
One hundred public school teachers have died by suicide in South Korea in the past six years as of June. Fifty-seven taught at elementary schools, government data showed.
