South Korean teachers on strike

Teachers are demanding better protection against bullying by the parents of pupils.

Thousands of teachers in South Korea have stayed away from work to attend another mass rally honouring colleagues who've taken their own lives. They are demanding better protection against bullying by the parents of pupils. The gathering was originally called for a young teacher who killed herself in July after suffering repeated harassment, phone calls and complaints. We hear teachers' experiences and get more intormation from our correspondent in Seoul.
