So I'm an F4 visa holder. The MoE requires a background check for F4's now. I have 3 drinking tickets from my wild college days. It will probably show up on my background check, although I never was convicted of a crime because of several factors, I've been arrested for drinking, fingerprinted...

My question is can the MoE tell me I can't be a teacher because of an arrest record? Or is this decision only on the hagwon's discretion? Ironic because of the drinking culture here....

Thanks for your input!

IF your check comes back with a positive finding (anything other than, "No derogatory record found") the MOE can and probably will refuse to register you as a teacher. It is not at the discretion of the employer.

Any employer hiring you and not registering you or keeping you employed after your registration has been refused/revoked is subject to penalties ranging from fines to loss of their business and operating license.

Time to start looking for a new career path. EBSE???

Time to get Korean citizenship, and escape the witch-hunt.
