The National Assembly will hold confirmation hearings on Wednesday for the nominees to lead the ministries of education, justice and labor. 

The Assembly’s Education Committee will convene a confirmation hearing for Education Minister and Deputy Prime Minister nominee Lee Jin-sook.  

Rival parties are expected to clash over accusations that Lee plagiarized a thesis written by her student while she was a professor. 

Lee is also accused of breaking the law by sending her child abroad at an early age to study unaccompanied by a parent. 

The Assembly will also hold confirmation hearings for Justice Minister nominee Jung Song-ho and Labor Minister nominee Kim Young-hoon.
