impairment.
The 2014 monitoring activities were divided into two categories: “on-site monitoring”
examined the accessibility of persons with disabilities to a public library (150 libraries),
judicial authority (82 agencies), theater (73 theaters), exhibition (24 museums and
art galleries), public institution (14 agencies), and medical service (14 medical care
institutions) while “policy monitoring” reviewed whether persons with disabilities are
provided legitimate and adequate conveniences in national competency tests.
The Commission sent the on-site monitoring reports to every agency monitored
and encouraged them to voluntarily improve the condition and more than 98.4% replied
to the Commission with improvement plans, significantly contributing to addressing
and preventing disability discrimination. In addition, through policy monitoring
activities, it developed policy tasks for guaranteeing adequate conveniences to persons
with disabilities in national competency tests.
The NHRCK also evaluated its monitoring activities of the year and identified future
policy tasks by presenting the monitoring results to the public and publishing and
distributing The 2014 Report of Monitoring the Implementation of the Act on the
Prohibition of Discrimination against the Disabled.
