Teachers across South Korea have been protesting for nine weeks, demanding more rights in the classroom.
South Korea has passed a new law to better protect schoolteachers from complaining parents.
Teachers nationwide have been protesting for nine weeks, demanding more rights in the classroom.
They say they are frequently harassed by parents who sometimes maliciously report them for child abuse, to see them removed from their jobs.
The teachers accused parents of exploiting a child welfare law, passed in 2014, which dictates that teachers accused of child abuse are automatically suspended.
Under the new legislation, called the Teacher Rights Restoration Bill, teachers will not be immediately removed following a report of child abuse; further investigation and evidence will be required.
