Human rights of the students shall be protected in school as a matter of course. Recently the ordinances on the protection of human rights for students has been legislated and enacted in Seoul, Kyunggi-do and Gwangju-city to protect the human rights of the students. It has been shaped up on the fundamental belief that human rights enjoyed by the citizens should also be applied for the students in elementary to high school. Because of the resistance of some school teachers and the officers of the Ministry of Education, Science and Techonology, the Ministry promulgated and enacted the Enactment Decree of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to invalidate the ordinance. Though the intent of the Ministry is to invalidate the ordinances of the local governments, the ordinances may not be annuled, rather co-exist with the Enforcement Decree.
