Things have gotten worse for the girl that started the down fall of the President of Korea by cheating at school, she has now lost her high school graduation diploma:
Chung Yoo-ra
The education office in Seoul has annulled the high school graduation of Chung Yoo-ra, the daughter of President Park Geun-hye’s confidant Choi Soon-sil, after finding out her grades and attendance were fabricated and she had not fulfilled the requirements to graduate.
It also asked the prosecution to investigate Chung, Choi and 10 others involved in the irregularities in managing Chung’s attendance, tests and grades, including teachers and school board members at Chungdam High School.
The decision came about two weeks after the Ministry of Education ordered Ewha Womans University to cancel Chung’s admissions due to the university’s favors in admissions and grading.
In her third year at the high school in 2014, Chung, a dressage competitor, was absent for 141 days with the excuse that she participated in competitions or training overseas. She submitted related documents to prove her participation and the school acknowledged her absence.
“Of the documents, those for 105 days of absence were fabricated,” said Cho Hee-yeon, superintendent of Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (SMOE), in a briefing, Monday.
The Korea Equestrian Federation falsely issued the documents although there was no training during the stated periods, he said. [Korea Times]
You can read the rest at the link, but I think it is pretty ridiculous that anyone that would miss 141 days in one school year would be allowed to graduate no matter what the excuse is.
Hard to understand how people can think cheating has no consequences.
