MORE than 100,000 teachers in Seoul have gone on strike following the suicide of a primary school teacher overwhelmed by pressure from parents.
In July, the 23-year-old was found dead in a classroom cupboard by her colleagues two weeks after she wrote in her diary that she “wanted to let go.”
The unnamed woman’s death unleashed a wave of anger from primary school teachers in South Korea, with protests in the capital.
