'Teacher's Day? No, Teacher's Rights Collapse Day': KFTU Survey Reveals the Bare Face of Public Education
The Era of 'Lost Rights' Beyond Falling Authority... "Teachers have become complaint handlers, not educators."
Analysis of 8,900 responses from the KFTU survey warns of a collapse in public education amidst broken trust, compensation, and safety.
[Education/CTN] Reporter Keum-hyeon Ga = "I am happiest when I see a student grow, but I feel most powerless when I am not trusted by students and parents."
This single sentence from the South Korean teaching community poignantly encapsulates the current reality of public education, as reported by Reporter Keum-hyeon Ga of CTN, South Korea's premier internet newspaper.
The nationwide survey of 8,900 teachers released by the Korean Federation of Teachers' Associations (KFTU) to mark the 45th Teacher's Day is more than a simple job satisfaction poll. It is a danger signal indicating how far the South Korean public education system has crumbled.
A Collective Sense of Despair
The most shocking takeaway from the survey is that nearly half (49.2%) of teachers responded that their professional pride has declined over the past one to two years. In contrast, only 12.8% said it had increased.
This isn't just an emotional issue. It is a collective expression of despair—a realization that the teaching profession is no longer respected, protected, or offered a vision for the future. Notably, 67.9% of teachers cited "loss of trust from students/parents and infringement of teacher rights" as the primary reason for their feelings of powerlessness.
While infringements on teacher rights were once viewed as isolated incidents, they have now become a structural fear experienced daily. In recent years, the teaching community has witnessed extreme situations:
Legitimate guidance being reported as "child abuse."
Verbal and physical abuse during class.
Malicious civil complaints and online doxxing.
In this environment, teachers are increasingly forced to prioritize "self-defense" over education.
Structural Failures: Administrative Burdens and Low Pay
Despite the passage of the "Five Teacher Rights Acts" following the Seoi Elementary School tragedy, teachers in the field say nothing has changed. The law exists, but the classroom remains defenseless.
The resulting "teaching profession avoidance" is even more severe. The top reasons cited for leaving or avoiding the profession were:
Indiscriminate child abuse reports and exposure to parental complaints (28.9%)
Low compensation (28.1%)
Lack of protective mechanisms for teacher rights (23.5%)
Essentially, teachers feel the job has become "dangerous yet underpaid." According to KFTU data, the net monthly salary for a new teacher in 2025 is approximately 2.49 million KRW—barely meeting the living expenses of a single-person household.
Furthermore, 90.8% of teachers reported that administrative work accounts for more than 40% of their total duties. From playground safety inspections to equipment management and processing official documents, teachers are being consumed as "general administrative staff" rather than pedagogical experts.
A Cry for Fundamental Change
The demand for recording serious infringements on student records (Saegeulbu) or lowering the age of criminal responsibility should not be viewed as a mere call for harsher punishment. It is a desperate SOS signaling that the minimum principles of order and responsibility in the classroom have vanished.
While concerns exist regarding the "labeling effect" on students or the potential weakening of student rights, the current reality is that the "right to survival" for teachers is at stake. Public education cannot be sustained by the sacrifice of teachers alone. It requires social trust, legal protection, and rational compensation.
CTN's Proposed Solutions
To move beyond empty "Thank you, Teacher" slogans, CTN proposes the following:
State-Responsible Legal Defense System: Immediate implementation for incidents of educational infringement.
Strict Punishment for False Child Abuse Reports: Establishment of a direct response system by Superintendents.
National Integrated Support Center: To handle administrative tasks currently assigned to teachers.
Salary Realization: Updated pay scales for new teachers tied to inflation.
Integrated Adjustment Body: To balance teacher rights and student human rights.
Permanent Legal Support: Dedicated school-based support to block malicious complaints.
National Mental Health Care: State-operated trauma and mental health systems for educators.
