1. Reason for the revision

The current Higher Education Act (hereinafter referred to as the 'Act') stipulates that admissions officers are prohibited from founding or being employed by any private teaching institutes for the first three years after their retirement. However, since the Act on the Establishment and Operation of Private Teaching Institutes and Extracurricular Lessons does not clearly provide teaching activities at such private institutes and private tutoring activities, it does not fully achieve the original legislative purposes.

Furthermore, although the Act is designed to ensure fairness in university admissions screening, its effectiveness is limited as there are no regulations regarding the imposition of sanctions for violations of the Act.

Therefore, it is intended to improve and complement some of the deficiencies revealed in the operation of the current system by expanding the scope of the restrictions, such as employment after admissions officers retire from their position to private tutoring centers and individual tutoring, and by imposing penalties for violations.
