"Ultimatum" Given

Public teachers in Gangnam can basically take it or leave it. The Ministry of Education, Technology and Science is siding with the Gangnam district's plan to no longer provide school-sponsored housing for the native speaking teachers. Instead, a monthly housing allowance of 900,000 won ($770) will be provided.

According to the story in The Korea Times, the only timeline given for the change is "from next year."

Check out the full story here.

Brian in Jeollanam-do keeps up his in-depth coverage and analysis of the event here. Brian's insight is always good to read. So make sure you check that out as well.

(P.S. - Thanks for catching my typo, Dougie!)
