The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education appealed to a court ruling that invalidated the cancellation of the designation of an autonomous criminal private high school (self-accident). Seoul Superintendent Cho Hee-yeon emphasized that it is the superintendent’s authority to change the index for self-high school evaluation.
On the 15th, Superintendent Cho announced that he would appeal to the Seoul Administrative Court’s ruling to cancel the cancellation of the designation of the Exclusion/Sehwa High School. In addition, Superintendent Cho insisted on the legitimacy of the cancellation of the designation of own high school through a four-page statement.
Earlier, on the 28th of last month, the Seoul Administrative Court raised the hand of the plaintiff in an administrative lawsuit (first trial) filed by the school corporations Bae Jaehakdang (Paejae High School) and Ilju Sechemical Institute (Sehwa High School) requesting the Seoul Office of Education to cancel the cancellation of its own high school designation. The two schools that won the trial were able to maintain their own high school status.
The issue at the trial was whether the “standard for self-accident evaluation index” developed by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education in 2018 with the Ministry of Education and 11 provincial offices of education was legitimate. The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education applied this indicator retrospectively from the operation performance of its own high school in 2015 and conducted the evaluation of its own high school in 2019. In the 2019 evaluation, the redefinition criterion score was also increased from 60 points to 70 points. As the evaluation criteria increased, a bunch of 10 private high schools were subject to cancellation of designation.

The court accepted a large part of the plaintiff’s argument that it was unfair that the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education changed the indicators and applied the changed criteria retrospectively when the evaluation was short. Through the judgment, the court said, “It is a deviation or abuse of discretion that the defendant carried out the evaluation by retrospectively applying the significantly changed evaluation criteria to the period subject to the evaluation of this case, and evaluating that the school did not achieve the designated purpose.”
Superintendent Cho refuted that there were no major revisions to the indicators ahead of the 2019 evaluation. Superintendent Cho said, “The only discretionary indicator that was established in 2019 is’normalizing school work and creating a school culture of participation, communication, and cooperation’.” He added, “Since 2015, through the school evaluation guidebook every year, we have been steadily guiding the application to the type of school evaluation of our own high schools,” he added.
The newly added indicators were also clarified. Superintendent Cho explained that the four discretionary indicators, such as’student participation and revitalization of self-government culture’, are necessary for evaluating self-government high schools because they correspond to projects focused on the Office of Education. Responding to the court’s ruling that the two schools received low evaluation by increasing the deductions for’intellectual cases such as gratitude’, Superintendent Cho argued that “the fact that several intellectual cases have occurred is a testament to the poor and negligent school management.” did.
There was a brake in the court, but Superintendent Cho said he would surely cancel the designation of a private high school. Superintendent Cho said, “We are filing an appeal with the hearts of the people who desperately wish for the normalization of high school education,” and said, “We will do our best to normalize high school education by revealing the justification of the cancellation of designation for self-accidents to the end.”
