I have been informed that the Ministry of Education now requires a criminal chech for teachers teaching in universities. This is over and above the criminal checks the Ministry of Immigration demand. Talk about bureacratic redundancy. Why not get it from their sister department?

This is the 2nd posting in the last couple of days - both of them about university teachers, and both posts talking about the Taegu office. This could be something that the Taegu office has decided to do - anyone experiencing this elsewhere in the country?

I nned to clarify something. It is the Department of Education not Immigration that requires this. I still do not understand though. The Education department in Gwangju required this when I came 6 years ago. They have it but I guess sharing info is not done between government offices.

Brings me to a new question. What is the relationship between the Ministry of Education and universities?
I was always under the impression the the Ministry of Education dealt with public schools not universities.
