Professors of Yonsei University School of Medicine, the Ministry of Education, and medical students also set a trap...I have to cancel my absence
Mar 20, 2025
Professors at Yonsei University's medical school urged the Ministry of Education to cancel the policy, saying it was not justified.
The Yonsei University Medical School Professors' Emergency Response Committee (hereinafter referred to as the Emergency Response Committee) announced on the 20th that the Ministry of Education's position on the notification of the medical school's group not to take a leave of absence is "groundless and unjustified policy of the Ministry of Education" and added that it supports the normal general leave of absence, which is a legitimate exercise of students' rights, and will protect them from undue disadvantages" he said.
Earlier on the 18th, the Ministry of Education sent an official letter to 40 medical schools (including medical school) with medical schools nationwide, reiterating its policy that large-scale group leave of absence of medical students is impossible. Most schools responded to the Ministry of Education's policy, saying they would respond according to school regulations if medical students consistently refuse classes.
In this regard, the emergency committee further twisted the medical education problem that has continued for more than a year. The letter, which was sent to 40 universities where medical schools were set up without even defining a collective leave of absence, puts forward grounds beyond the authority allowed to the Ministry of Education and forces each university not to approve leave of absence" he criticized.
Also, the ministry's official letter deserves criticism in that it is already urging the government not to approve it on the basis of unjustified and self-reversed previous official letters,' he said. `Considering the relationship between the ministry and each university, it is hard for presidents to ignore such demands, and many students are under threat that they have been ignored and rejected by their legitimate rights. According to the university's school regulations, students applied for a leave of absence normally according to the procedure, with the format and documents required by general leave of absence (unregistered leave of absence). Students made choices and decisions based on their own circumstances and values, and they deserve respect in either direction. If a student's application for a normal leave of absence is not accepted as ordered by the government, students are mechanically expelled as if they were placed on a conveyor belt. The university authorities and Yonsei University professors, who tried to talk with students in preparation for the estrangement of their relationship with students, were at a loss as to what kind of conversation they could have with students. This is how the government is holding its breath in medical education,' he pointed out.
At the same time, he pointed out strongly that the 's trick', which was aimed at the medical doctor, is heading toward the student.
In this regard, the emergency committee said "The government has actually set a trap by telling the medical professionals that the order is withdrawn." And the government also set a trap for medical students who applied for a leave of absence. Our professors reject all of these ordersIt only spreads the story that students, who have never been given a basis for ", seem to be limited to some, monitor each other and force them to take a leave of absence. The government's attitude is clear. The essence is a fight between the government and students, a trick that turns it into a conflict between professors and students over traps and problems within students. Students are not treated as conversation partners, but are subject to public opinion trials and are coercing through the president and system. The disappearance of democracy, the disregard of human rights and the artifice of shifting to internal conflict instead of the government itself are repeating here again," he said.
The emergency committee said in a statement released in June last year: ▲ The government will first visually remove traps sprayed on medical residents and medical students ▲ The government will again demand that medical residents take courageous and bold preemptive measures to create an atmosphere, and "Students continue to struggle lonely against the government. Yonsei University professors will support the exercise of legitimate rights, which manifests as a normal general leave of absence for students, and will protect against undue disadvantages," he stressed.
He then urged the government to face the threat of public health brought about by the collapse of medical care in Korea with fear and to cancel the unjust order in respect of the students' legitimate decisions.
