Reference Case (Constitutional Court of Korea, 2003.9.25 2002Hun-Ma519) :
Constitutional
Q) Isn't it unconstitutional and violating the freedom in one's choice of employment, which
is set forth in the Act on the establishment and operation of private teaching institutes and
extra-curricular lessons if the eligibilities for a private academy teacher is limited to
university graduates only?
A) To determine whether or not it violates the freedom in one's choice of employment : the
reason for limiting the applications based on the university graduation requirement only is
because lawmakers want to prevent a private academy from hiring unqualified teachers in
order to make more profits. The lawmakers want to protect the quality of education service
as well as education service users by ensuring that private education executes a minimum
level of public function, and to realize successful continuing education by recognizing
legitimacy of limitation purposes.
- To determine whether or not it violates the principle of equality and equity: It may
be possible that a current university student has the capacity and the talent to teach like
university graduates. However, in order to ensure the similar quality of education across the
country, it is legitimate for lawmakers to discriminate and limit applications based on the
standard education requirement instead of individual merits. This act of discrimination is
considered 'legitimate' and does not violate the principle of equality and equity.
