Article 5 Measures to Safeguard Various Rights for Overseas Compatriot Students. These students are mainly from the seven countries included in the New Southbound policy (see Table 1). Nevertheless, the types of education, internships, protection of rights and obligations, and placement transfers are not tailored to overseas students of differing nationalities. The Overseas Community Affairs Council set up a hotline to increase its effectiveness in handling issues related to follow- up counseling, unfair treatment after enrollment, and internship hours that violate the Labor Standards Act . However, there were only a few inquiries and complaints, mostly made by anonymous callers, making it difficult to resolve issues immediately or even compile a list of cases based on nationality. Disseminating information on students’ rights through consultation services appears to have been ineffective.119 Table 1: Countries of origin of overseas students from Cooperative Education Programs in vocational high schools Academic Year 2020 2021 Students Recruited 2,115 1,726 1,866 Malaysia 79 66 33 Vietnam 1,172 875 591 Indonesia 706 581 1,024 Thailand 35 82 68 Myanmar The Philippines Cambodia 119 2019 88 5 30 72 4 46 83 7 60 Source: Overseas Community Affairs Council Additional replies from the OCAC, MOE and MOL after the NHRC discussion meeting with government agencies on January 17, 2023.
