[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 24th that it conducted emergency duty training in preparation for the COVID-19 crisis situation.

On that day, the Office of Education assumed a situation where a COVID-19 confirmed case occurred among the main office staff, leading to the closure of the building. They organized essential duty teams by department and moved their offices to the nearby Jeollanam-do Education Research and Information Center to carry out work training.

This training was conducted to minimize work gaps in preparation for the building closure and to enhance the crisis response capabilities of the main office staff.

Out of the total 526 main office employees, the Office of Education designated 129 people (24.5% of the total) as essential personnel by department, and had them work in temporary offices set up on the 4th and 5th floors of the Jeonnam Education Research and Information Center.

The essential personnel reported to the temporary office at 8:30 a.m. and performed departmental tasks until 12:00 p.m.

The superintendent-led executive meeting was also held at the temporary office. The meeting proceeded by reviewing new semester preparation status, including ▲quarantine measures ▲student life guidance plans ▲strengthening emergency care classrooms ▲promotion of managed remote education equivalent to regular classes ▲response plans for academies and private institutes to practice social distancing.

Superintendent Jang Seok-woong said, “The crisis situation continues as confirmed COVID-19 cases have occurred even within Muan-gun, where the Office of Education building is located. We must minimize work gaps and ensure that preparations for the new semester are not disrupted by proactively preparing for possible building closures with a mindset of being prepared for any contingency.”
