Daeryun Law Firm signed an MOU with the Korean Federation of Teachers' Associations (KFTA) to take the lead in protecting teachers' rights and interests and improving the education system.

The agreement ceremony held at the Korean Federation of Teachers' Associations on the 29th of last month was attended by key working-level staff, including CEO Daeryun Kim Kuk-il, Vice President Choi Yi-seon, lawyer Heo Ji-seon, Korean Federation of Teachers' Federation President Kang Joo-ho, Policy Division Director Cho Seong-cheol, Director of Teachers' Rights Division Kim Dong-seok, and Secretary-General Moon Kwon-guk.

The Korean Teachers' Federation was founded in 1947 as the ‘Joseon Education Association’ and is an organization whose members include teachers and educational administrators at all levels of education, including teachers at kindergartens, elementary, middle, high schools, and universities. It is the largest teacher organization in Korea, working for the purposes of increasing the professionalism of teachers, improving social and economic status, and protecting teaching rights.

Based on their respective strengths, the two companies plan to cooperate in tasks such as △ legal consultation to recover from infringement on educational rights △ legal advice such as legislation and requests for legal interpretation △ legal education support for students and teachers △ promotion and entrustment of joint research on educational rights.

Kang Joo-ho, president of the Korean Teachers' Federation, said, “I am pleased that through this agreement, practical measures have been taken to create an environment in which teachers can focus on their primary role in education.” He added, “We will resolve issues that may arise in various disputes through organic cooperation with Daeryun, a global mega law firm.”

Daeryun Management CEO Kim Gook-il said, “Under the recognition that an educational environment where teachers are respected guarantees the quality of education, we will faithfully fulfill our role as a partner in realizing public value in the education world through this agreement.” He added, “The Daeryun School Violence Group has many lawyers with diverse experiences, including prosecutors in the juvenile crime department, disciplinary committee members of the Office of Education, and lawyers with full teacher qualifications, so we can minimize risks by preemptively providing necessary legal advice both on and off campus.”

Meanwhile, the two organizations plan to continue to expand their close cooperation system in the future based on convergent cooperation in the fields of education and law to fulfill joint responsibilities in expanding teaching rights, improving systems, protecting teachers' rights and interests, and responding to education policies.
