In 2022, there were 122 education trade unions in South Korea. According to the source, a major education trade union called the Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union accounted for more than 88 percent of registered union members. This trade union lost its legal legitimacy as ruled by the Seoul High Court in 2016, which led to a drastic decline in education trade union membership rates.
