From December15, when foreign teachers who wish to enter the country to teach English apply for a visa, they will be requested to submit criminal and medical history information, the Ministry of Justice announced on the 27th.

They point out the social problems brought by some foreign teachers, who are unqualified or do drugs and commit sex crimes.

The Ministry plans that when foreign teachers apply for the E-2 visa for language instructors they will submit their criminal records, medical history information and be required to go through an interview with a Korean consular official to work to teach in that capacity.

The involved Ministries will work together on information about foreign teachers who have falsified their degrees or have criminal records for drugs, sex offenses, or other crimes and will also strengthen regulations and punishments for businesses which employ them.
