South Korea — Framework Act on Education, Art. 23-3 (student-information principles)
The constitutional-style principles provision for student data in Korea's education framework act.
Statute text is Korean (the authentic language); this README is curation.
Applicability to EdTech
- Purpose limitation by statute (제23조의3 제1항): student information such as school records may be collected, processed, used and managed only for educational purposes — a purpose-limitation rule sitting above PIPA for the school domain.
- Parental access right (제2항): guardians are entitled to receive their child's student information.
- No third-party provision without consent (제3항) except where a statute says otherwise — for minors, consent means the student and the guardian. A platform receiving Korean student data is a third party under this rule; the operational carve-outs live in 초·중등교육법 제30조의6.

The corpus reproduces selected articles of the 교육기본법 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.
