Seoul: The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (SMOE) announced it has initiated the process to revoke former first lady Kim Keon Hee's teaching certificate after a request from a private university.
According to Yonhap News Agency, Sookmyung Women's University in Seoul recently canceled Kim's master's degree from its Graduate School of Education due to thesis plagiarism. The teaching certificate held by Kim was based on her master's degree in education.
Earlier this week, the private university requested the SMOE to nullify her teaching certificate, as reported by SMOE officials.
