admitted to the KAAY, compared with the past. Meanwhile, the Act on the Establishment
of the Korea Third Military Academy defines admission eligibility of the KAAY as
'graduates of junior colleges' (expectant graduates) or those with equivalent or higher
academic qualifications.
The Commission considered that the need for predicting forms of military service of
college students to be applied equally to junior college students and securing talented
officer candidates at an early date could be achieved more effectively by widening the
eligibility requirements, rather than narrowing them. In addition, it deemed that, given the
fact that the relevant law stipulates academic requirements of eligibility for cadets of the
KAAY, there would be no need to differentiate academic qualifications for regular
recruitment and prior recruitment or offer favorable treatment to four-year colleges or
exclude junior colleges when recruiting preliminary officer candidates.
Accordingly, the Commission decided that excluding junior college students from
recruitment candidates for preliminary officer candidates by defining the eligibility of
recruitment of preliminary officer candidates as four-year college students in Article 8(2)1
and 8(2)2 of the Enforcement Decree of the Military Personnel Management Act by the
Minister for Defense is discrimination based on education background without reasonable
cause and recommended for revision of the relevant regulations.
8) Discrimination Based on Medical Record
Discrimination based on medical record refers to an act of favorably treating, excluding,
differentiating or unfavorably treating a particular person or a group of particular persons
based on medical records without reasonable cause in all aspects of social activities
including employment.
