Lee Ju-ho" conversation to return to college..."The mood of change"

Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Lee Ju-ho said, "It is encouraging that the conversation between the university president and medical school has begun to open as an emergency measure to normalize the academic record of medical school, which includes allowing medical students to take conditional leave of absence."

In an interview with a media outlet, Deputy Prime Minister Lee said in a meeting with presidents of medical schools on the 11th that universities have begun talks to return medical students and there is an atmosphere of change.

In response to the criticism that the Ministry of Education's position has retreated, he argued that it is time to respond to the situation in a big way because if the eight-month training gap is left as it is, there will be mass paid and expulsion.

In response to criticism that the Ministry of Education intervened in the management of the university's academic affairs due to conditional leave of absence, he stressed that health is a function of the government as important as national defense, and that the education ministry needs guidance and supervision at the public interest level.

Regarding criticism that the increase in medical schools is inevitable to reduce the quality of education, the Ministry of Education's most important policy goal is to ensure the quality of education, dismissing it as uncompromising.

The Ministry of Education said on the 30th of last month that it would open up enough to talk about voices calling for the withdrawal of the audit for the dean's audit of Seoul National University Medical School, which approved the leave of absence of medical students.
