[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Suncheon Office of Education plans to reduce teachers' administrative tasks and strengthen support for student-centered educational activities by simplifying the settlement process of educational expense subsidy projects starting this year.

According to the Suncheon Office of Education on the 3rd, the Office of Education and Suncheon City gathered opinions on simplifying the settlement of educational expenses at schools during the Suncheon Education Administration Council held in December last year. Mayor Heo Seok and Superintendent Lee Gil-hoon reached a decisive agreement to implement the simplification of the settlement process for Suncheon City's educational expense subsidy projects.

Through this agreement, starting this year, the settlement documents for schools that executed Suncheon City's educational expense subsidy projects will be simplified to a total of four types: performance reports and Edufine printouts, significantly reducing teachers' administrative tasks and allowing them to focus more on student-centered educational activities.

Until now, the educational expense subsidy projects supported by the Office of Education and local schools required the submission of various documents such as performance reports and estimates, totaling 11 types, which placed a heavy administrative burden on school staff.

Lee Gil-hoon, Superintendent of Suncheon Education, said, “We will continue to work with Suncheon City to improve inefficient and conventional tasks,” and added, “Through this simplification, we expect that student-centered education in Suncheon, which is optimal for nurturing children and inclusive, will be realized.”
