The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Korea University and Ewha Womans University to provide students majoring in law with human rights-related education programs.
The commission said Wednesday it had reached an agreement with the two schools in offering human rights education to students of their graduate schools of law.
The state-run agency said it plans to establish in-campus laboratories researching student's human rights and also call on school authorities to run more classes handling subjects with regard to human rights.
``We expect many universities here to focus their curriculums on bolstering legal experts in human rights under the support of the commission,'' an NHRC official said.
Inha and Hanyang universities also signed the same agreement with NHRC last month.
