문용린 서울시교육감이 통상적인 관례보다 4배나 많은 외부강의를 통해 400만원의 특강수입을 올린 사실이 알려지면서 지적을 받고 있다.
서울시교육청이 제출한 자료에 따르면 문 교육감은 지난 해 12월 20일 취임 후 올해 9월 12일까지 총 16차례의 외부특강을 했다.
이 중 4차례의 강연은 근무시간 (오전 9시-오후 6시) 에 진행됐고, 오전 9시에 종료되어 정시 출근을 하지 못했을 가능성이 예상되는 강의도 9차례 있었던 것으로 나타났다.
이에 민주당 김상희 의원은 문 교육감이 근무시간에 근무지를 이탈해 외부 특강을 해 온 것이 아니냐고 지적했다.
시,도 교육감의 외부강의는 평균 연 5회 미만이고, 강의 수입도 100만원 미만이다.
김 의원은 문 교육감의 강연 강행 이유가 내년 6월 실시되는 지방선거를 앞두고 정치적 지지 기반을 다지기 위한 것이 아니냐는 의혹을 제기했다.

Seoul’s education chief Moon Yong-lin has faced a wave of criticism on Tuesday for delivering lectures four times higher than average and securing total of 4 million won ($3,770) in fees.
According to the data submitted by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, he has given 16 lectures since his inauguration on Dec. 20, 2012, as of Sept. 12.
A lawmaker of the main opposition Democratic Party questioned whether Moon put his private gains before his official duty, pointing out that some of his lectures took place during office hours.
The average number of lectures other education chiefs delivered was less than five per year, and the average income was estimated to be less than 1 million won.
Critics said his lectures might be linked to the forthcoming local elections in June 2014.
