In a troubling incident that raises questions about transparency in educational recruitment, a public elementary school in Osan City, South Korea, has been accused of irregularities in the hiring process for substitute teachers. The allegations surfaced after it was discovered that the job posting included an incorrect attachment, leading to suspicions of pre-selection and favoritism. The recruitment process, which was supposed to be straightforward, became mired in controversy when the school posted a job description unrelated to the position they were actually hiring for.

In today’s rapidly evolving job market, many recent graduates are questioning the value of their degrees. With reports of high unemployment rates among new college graduates, the sentiment of “What good is a degree if I can’t find a job?” is becoming increasingly common. This reflects a broader trend where traditional educational pathways are being scrutinized against the backdrop of a dynamic economy that often favors skills over formal qualifications.
