Seoul Office of Education does not accept recommendation to 'reflect salaries for entrusted national and public daycare centers'

The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education did not accept the National Human Rights Commission's point that it was discrimination to not reflect the experience of childcare teachers at public daycare centers entrusted by local governments to the private sector in the salaries of office staff at private schools.

According to the Human Rights Commission on the 10th, the Human Rights Commission last month recommended to the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education to improve the system so that those with experience in consignment operation of national or public daycare centers are not excluded.

This was a recommendation following a complaint filed by Mr. A, an office worker at a private school.

However, in a reply sent to the Human Rights Commission last September, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education explained that the work experience of childcare teachers at directly managed facilities and those at consignment facilities are treated differently in related regulations such as the 'Local Civil Servant Compensation Regulations' that apply to calculating salaries for office staff in private schools.

At the same time, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education responded that it would be difficult to apply this differently to office staff at private schools whose labor costs are supported.

The Human Rights Commission announced that it determined that the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education did not accept the Commission's recommendations and decided to announce this fact.
