If safety measures are taken in the event of an experiential learning accident, the responsibility of faculty and staff is exempted.

In the event of an accident during field experience activities, civil and criminal liability will be exempted if the faculty and staff have taken safety measures.

The Ministry of Education said at today's plenary session of the National Assembly that eight bills under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, including some amendments to the Act on the Prevention and Compensation of School Safety Accidents, were approved.

The revision of the School Safety Act is characterized by a new "indemnity clause" that allows teachers and staff who have fulfilled their duty to take safety measures against students to be held civil and criminal responsibility, and stipulates that the superintendent of education can support safety education and the government or education authorities can deploy necessary assistants.

The revision of the School Sports Promotion Act, which allows student-athletes to participate in the competition if they have completed the basic education guarantee program even if they do not have the lowest academic ability to effectively combine their studies and sports, also passed the plenary session.

In addition, the Framework Act on Education, which mandates the implementation of education by the state and local governments to prevent side effects of excessive smart device use, also crossed the threshold of the National Assembly.

In addition, an amendment to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act was passed to allow the Minister of Education or the Superintendent of Education to support expenses for human resources and facilities necessary for student life guidance to facilitate student life guidance at the education site.
