So, the question is, will this be an effective system or just another person to hang around and scold some kids occasionally?

The Seoul government announced on the 1st that it will be placing 1,110 school safety monitors in the city’s 555 public elementary, middle, and high schools in order to prevent school violence.

There will be two safety monitors in each elementary school to patrol and prevent violence.

93%, or 1,036, of them also served in the same roles last year.

Beginning this year their salaries will increase 25%, to 1.105 million won per month, with every other Saturday off.

An official with the city said that “this system has been created with the cooperation of the schools, to ensure safety schools and prevent violence.”
