Ever seen your coworkers at a public school take a "white envelope?"

In the wake of allegations of corruption in the education sector, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education announced Wednesday that it will offer a reward of up to 100 million won ($86,805) to those who report improper acts by the nation�s teachers.

Teachers who are found to have taken bribes in any form will be let go and forbidden to apply for any civil-service positions.

if foreigners could be the one to make the report, i would come here once a year, make the report, collect my money, and go back to the phillipines to wait until i ran out of money. would be no end of opportunities, i would never have to work, and i would be a richer man.

Is taking bribes limited to monetary bribes or can it include sexual ones as well?

Good to see K-teachers being scrutinised.

But then again they brought this whole culture of criminalising teachers on themselves... by doing it to foreign teachers.
