STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSSEOUL - South Korean teachers are set to rally on Monday and sit out of work to demand better protection of their rights and to protest what they say is widespread harassment by overbearing parents that has led colleagues to take their own lives.
The number of teachers who stayed away from class was not immediately clear, but local media said dozens of schools across the country were expected to close because teachers said they would not work. President Yoon Suk Yeol on Monday ordered officials to listen to the teachers' demands and work to protect their rights, his office said.
Another 20,000 were expected to take to the streets on Monday to join a demonstration near the parliament, organisers said.
