The National Human Rights Commission of Korea (NHRCK) undertook human rights training for more than 700 primary and secondary school teachers during the summer vacation to create a " human rights-friendly school environment."
The training was hosted by the NHRCK for school teachers and included offline training in Seoul and Gwangju as well as online training. The offline training was successfully conducted from July 31 to August 11 and addressed the topic of integrated education, with approximately 150 teachers on hand. The offline training program encompassed (i) law and regulations on integrated education, (ii) role playing, case studies, and sensitivity training to put an end to the widespread sense of discrimination, (iii) non-violent communication , and (iv) on-site learning. The program focused on enhancing school teacher" s sensitivity of human rights which is enable to successfully operate integrated classes on-site. One of the most notable aspects of this program was that it touched upon the human rights of social minorities including sexual minorities and migrant workers, going beyond the existing perspective of integrated education for the disabled.
The NHRCK" s cyber training implemented from July 17 to the end of August focused on two subjects: " understanding the rights of children" and " understanding the rights of vulnerable social groups." Both subjects are closely related to teachers" human rights. About 550 primary and secondary school teachers attended the online training. " Understanding the rights of children" focused on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, while " understanding the rights of vulnerable social groups" comprised programs to understand the rights of vulnerable social groups including disabled persons, children, and the elderly to learn about their rights through various cases. The cyber training for teachers, which was opened last year and held for a second time this year, has been drawing increasingly favorable responses and interest from teachers as it defies any constraints in terms of time and place.
The NHRCK has developed human rights training programs for elementary, middle, and high schools. It has also produced relevant textbooks and distributed them to schools at different levels, providing support for a wide range of human rights education activities. This year, in particular, the NHRCK created the " School Education Team" dedicated to handling human rights issues at schools in response to increasing global interest, including the interest of the United Nations, in human rights education. The NHRCK is now striving to institutionalize human rights education by including human rights education in school teachers" training courses and formal school curriculums.
