人权委员会主席警告:过度的早期教育热潮威胁儿童权利

韩国国家人权委员会主席安昌浩周一警告称,该国极端的早期私立教育文化正危害儿童的身心健康。在儿童节前夕发表的声明中,他将此称为对儿童权利的严重侵犯,剥夺了他们玩耍和休息的权利。他引用联合国儿童基金会(UNICEF)的数据指出,韩国儿童在学术表现上排名靠前,但在健康指标上却处于低位。

韩国国家人权委员会主席安昌浩在2026年5月4日(即儿童节前夕)发表声明,谴责所谓的“4岁和7岁入学考试”是对儿童权利的严重侵犯。他表示:“孩子们的成长不应以竞争的速度来衡量,而应在被尊重的深度时光中自然成长。”

安昌浩引用联合国儿童基金会的一份报告指出,在36个经合组织(OECD)和欧盟国家中,韩国儿童的学业成绩排名第四,但身体健康状况排名第28位,心理健康状况更是排在第34位。他说:“虽然我们的孩子在竞争方面领先,但这表明他们在生活稳定和安全方面没有得到充分的保护。”

安昌浩对降低未成年人刑事责任年龄的做法表示谨慎,认为扩大惩罚措施并不能遏制青少年犯罪,反而可能加剧污名化。他呼吁通过早期干预、社会支持和康复治疗来预防犯罪。

他还谈到了虐待儿童的问题,指出每年约有40名儿童死亡,并敦促建立更好的监测和支持系统。针对日益增加的针对教师的指控,安昌浩表示:“儿童权利与教师权威不应被视为对立的力量。只有当教师的权利得到尊重时,儿童的权利才能得到充分的保护。”教育部上个月宣布了禁止对三岁以下儿童进行机械式记忆训练的计划。
