South Korea — Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Arts. 30-4 to 30-6
The operational student-data regime: the national education information system (NEIS, 교육정보시스템), electronic processing of school affairs, and the FERPA-style restriction on providing student records to third parties.
Statute text is Korean (the authentic language); this README is curation.
Applicability to EdTech
- NEIS (제30조의4): the Ministry/교육감 operate the education information system handling school records — the system any deep Korean-school integration would touch.
- Electronic records (제30조의5): school affairs (학교생활기록 included) are processed via the information system.
- Third-party provision restricted (제30조의6): school heads may not provide school-life records or health-examination records to third parties without the student's (and, for minors, the guardian's) consent — exceptions only for supervisory authorities, admission to a higher school, de-identified statistics/research, and criminal investigation. A vendor platform is a third party: Korean deployments need this consent chain or de-identification.

The corpus reproduces selected articles of the 초·중등교육법 in Korean from the 국가법령정보센터, the Ministry of Government Legislation's official database.
Korean copyright law places statutes and decrees outside its protection. 저작권법 제7조 (국가법령정보센터 — 저작권법, read 2026-10-01 through the 국가법령정보센터 DRF API) provides: "다음 각 호의 어느 하나에 해당하는 것은 이 법에 의한 보호를 받지 못한다. 1. 헌법ㆍ법률ㆍ조약ㆍ명령ㆍ조례 및 규칙 2. 국가 또는 지방자치단체의 고시ㆍ공고ㆍ훈령 그 밖에 이와 유사한 것 [...] 4. 국가 또는 지방자치단체가 작성한 것으로서 제1호부터 제3호까지에 규정된 것의 편집물 또는 번역물"
Conditions: none attach to the statute text, because no copyright subsists in it. The corpus still identifies its source: each fact document names its source in its opening citation line and in its Meta section, and Sources here links the official text (the 국가법령정보센터). The changes (the selection of provisions, the Markdown layout and the added anchors) are described in Meta. The corpus does not claim that the publisher endorses it, and only the officially promulgated text is authentic.
