On the 13th, Daegu Cyber University, together with Wonkwang Digital University, held a rally urging a solution to the disqualification of eligibility to take the national speech rehabilitation therapist exam.

On that day, Daegu Cyber University conducted a solo protest holding placards with slogans such as "Why disqualify eligibility?", "Prepare relief measures for distance learning students!", and "Grant the 13th speech rehabilitation therapist exam opportunity!"

The national speech rehabilitation therapist exam is scheduled for the 30th, but the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Health Personnel Licensing Examination Institute have yet to provide an official response.

It is known that until a clear answer is given, the solo protests and large-scale rallies involving campus members will continue.

Minister Cho Gyu-hong of the Ministry of Health and Welfare stated at the regular meeting of the National Assembly's Health and Welfare Committee on the 7th that a special measure to defer eligibility for distance learning students would be prepared. Daegu Cyber University and Wonkwang Digital University have also announced through their emergency countermeasure committees that they will do their best to minimize student harm through all possible university-level measures.
