   I believe it got folded into the Ministry of Health, Welfare, Gender Equality and Family.

   …like the Ministry of Confusing Konglish Traffic Signs got rolled into the Ministry of Homeland and Maritime Affairs.

   The word “education” was dropped from the name of the new ministry, as its authority over the academic administration of elementary, secondary and tertiary schools is to be delegated to provincial governments and the private sector.

   If only our government would do the same.

   “The Ministry of Health, Welfare, Gender Equality and Family” - all of a sudden working at a hogwan doesn’t sound so bad. At least in a hogwan you’d get 3 days vacation.
