Choi Kyojin, former Superintendent of Education for Sejong City, has been appointed as Minister of Education.
On the 11th, the Ministry of Education announced that President Lee Jaemyung had approved the appointment of Minister Choi.
Accordingly, Minister Choi is scheduled to pay respects at the Daejeon National Cemetery on the morning of the 12th, and then move to the Government Complex Sejong to hold the inauguration ceremony.
During the National Assembly confirmation hearing held on the 2nd, Minister Choi repeatedly bowed his head and said, "I apologize" in response to various controversies.
Ultimately, the adoption of the confirmation report on Minister Choi was derailed due to opposition from the minority party. However, President Lee requested the resubmission of the report on the 10th, and the National Assembly's Education Committee, led by the ruling party, passed the confirmation report in a plenary session on this day, completing the appointment process.
