국회, 교육•사회•문화 대정부질문…유은혜 임명 공방
At the National Assembly's final interpellation session,... rival parties clashed over the appointment of education minister Yoo Eun-hae,... a lawmaker of the ruling Democratic Party.
It was her first time fielding questions from lawmakers... following her appointment earlier this week -- which came despite the parliament's failure to adopt a confirmation hearing report... due to objections from the opposition bloc.
They demanded she step down, citing a series of ethical lapses and claiming she lacks required expertise.
The ruling party defended Yoo,... saying she is fit for the job given her experience as a member of the parliament's education committee.
On other social issues, the government vowed to come up with revised policies to tackle the country's low birth rate,... as well as work on measures to improve the education system,... especially when it comes to young students... and the college entrance system.
