High school cancels diploma of Choi Soon-sil's daughter

A local high school on Wednesday nullified the diploma of the daughter of President Park Geun-hye's close friend who is at the center of a massive political scandal, after multiple records of her academic affairs were found to have been fabricated.

 

Seoul Chungdam High School said on its website that it has corrected the academic grades of Chung Yoo-ra, the only daughter of Choi Soon-sil, and invalidated the awards she received from the school.

 

Chung, currently held in custody in Denmark, has been embroiled in a scandal following allegations that she received undue favors in admission and academic affairs at Seoul's Ewha Womans University based on her mother's ties to President Park. Similar irregularities have been detected at the high school.

 

A former head of the university, as well as a number of professors are currently standing trial over their involvement in the alleged wrongdoings.

 

Following the high school's move, the highest level of education Chung has completed has been modified to middle school.

 

South Korean special prosecutors, who wrapped up their probe into the scandal centered on Park and Choi last week, have asked Denmark to send Chung to Seoul for questioning but the Danish prosecution said it needs more time to make a decision.

 

Chung, 21, has so far refused to voluntarily return home to face a probe.

Why? Did she cheat on her homeworks and exams? I really hope this is not some type of revenge for what her mother did.

they have been talking about this revoking her high school diploma for a couple of months cause they found that the teachers covered up her lack of attendance, and you have to have attendant certain amount inorder to graduate.

 

i think her grades were manipulated aswell, so it wouldnt be surprising of they nullified it as a consequence.

 

 

ill try to find the article

previous article went into more details

 

"Seoul’s education office said Monday that it would cancel the high school credentials of Chung Yoo-ra, the daughter of President Park Geun-hye’s confidante Choi Soon-sil, over revelations the school gave her special treatment in attendance and grading. 

After an inspection into Sunhwa Art School and Chungdam High School, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education said it would ask the prosecution to launch an investigation into Chung, her mother and 10 faculty members involved in the scandal.

“We are facing an unprecedented level of shameful irregularities in the education sector by Choi Soon-sil,†said Cho Hee-yeon, chief of the education office. “We will do our best to improve the system to correct the irregularities and prevent a recurrence of such wrongdoings.â€

According to the ministry’s findings, Chung was absent from the school for 141 days of her senior year, but was still marked present, with the excuse that she was engaged in training or competition, upon official documents issued by the Korea Equestrian Federation. 

However, of the 141 days she was absent, for 105 of them she attended neither training nor competition. 

Under the current school act, a student is required to attend at least 129 of 193 days to graduate from middle and high school. 

The education office said it would also revise her attendance and academic records and rescind awards she won during her school years. 

The move came after Ewha Womans University announced Friday that it would expel Chung and ban her re-admission to the school permanently over a series of special treatment given to her, from the admission procedure to academic records.

With her admission into Ewha Womans University and high school graduation canceled, she would end up with just a middle school diploma. 

Despite irregularities found during her middle school years, her graduation from Sunhwa Art School cannot be revoked because it is mandatory in South Korea for the government to offer middle school education, the education office said. 

Authorities also plan to tighten monitoring on attendance and academic records of student athletes and strengthen restrictions on the absences of student athletes. 

From now on, student athletes will not be allowed to be absent from more than a third of classes. When they participate in long-term training, they should notify not only their school, but also the education office, in advance.



The inspection found she had offered kickbacks to teachers, verbally abused Chung’s teachers and threatened to have them fired. At the time, she was the wife of Jeong Yoon-hoe, who was then a presidential aide."

Why is there never any mention of the babydaddy - who is he? Also, if mom and daughter both go to jail who will take care of the baby? And, is Yoora's father dead or....since he is hardly mentioned about being interrogated?

They split up if I remember correctly. There was a rumoured mum hired a gangster to scare the then boyfriend away from her.

 

And I think the her dad's dead.
