Deputy Prime Minister Yoo Eun-hye and Minister of Education said on the 8th that the reason for the delay in the audit of the Ministry of Education for admission to Pusan National University Medical Graduate School of the daughter of Cho Min, former Justice Minister Cho Kook, was due to an investigation by the prosecution.
Deputy Prime Minister Yoo responded to the question of Rep. Hwang Bo Seung-hee, the power of the people, saying, “There are questions about why one and a half years have passed since the (Ministry of Education) did not take action against Mr. Cho.”
Deputy Prime Minister Yoo said, “In August 2019, media reports related to admission came out, and in about a week as soon as the prosecution came out, the prosecution confiscated and searched universities and began an investigation.” “He said.
“The prosecution’s investigation and the results of the investigation will determine what measures we should take. This time, the trial is underway due to complex issues related to various universities, so even if we ask Pusan National University to inspect it, Pusan National University will I thought it was difficult to do precisely because there was an investigation and a trial. So I was looking at the judgment of the first trial.
Deputy Prime Minister Yu commented on the illegal admission of Ewha Womans University by Jung Yu-ra, and said, “Jung Yu-ra and others have requested cancellation of admission because the Ministry of Education has been confirmed to be denied admission through an audit. If there was, I asked the president with authority to cancel the admission.”
Rep. Hwang Bo asked the reason for covering Ms. Jo Min, “I couldn’t go out of the audit (due to the prosecution’s investigation).” .
