Another Scandal in Education
The Office of the Prime Minister operates a unit of secret inspectors. It rummaged through the cabinets in office occupied by the director of the Education Ministry's general affairs office, and found 17 bank-wrapped stacks of bills totaling W1 million each. There's a reason they're all so desperate to buy rank and position. It's because they believe it's an investment that pays, and one example would be how 14 headmasters in Ulsan got caught on the take from business interests.

Money key to teaching posts
An Internet poll of 1,072 people who have applied for teaching posts at Korean universities shows that 79 percent of respondents found the process unfair. Nearly one in five said colleges refused to offer them a position if they did not make a donation to the school foundation or development fund. Private universities were reportedly more likely to demand money than public colleges.
