The National Education Information System, or NEIS, is a computer network maintained by the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development. It contains records on every teacher and student in South Korea, and is built on a Linux-style platform.
The implementation of the NEIS in 2003 nearly touched off a nationwide teacher's strike by the Korean Teachers' Union, which continues to advocate passive resistance to the system.
The NEIS website is located at neis.moe.go.kr, but can be accessed only from authorized computers.
