[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jang Seok-woong, Superintendent of Education for Jeonnam Province, delivered a letter of gratitude to teachers in the Jeonnam region who are going through difficult times amid the COVID-19 crisis on the occasion of the ‘39th Teachers' Day.’

According to the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education on the 15th, Superintendent Jang Seok-woong sent a message of encouragement and thanks to teachers through a letter posted on the main office website and his social networking service (SNS), saying, “You are doing well enough now, and you are always right.”

In this letter titled ‘On the occasion of a special Teachers' Day,’ reflecting the unprecedented situation of conducting online classes due to COVID-19, Superintendent Jang comforted teachers by saying, “I send warm support to the teachers who are walking on an uncharted path.”

He continued, “Although it might be becoming familiar, classes without face-to-face interaction are still unfamiliar, and there may be times when you feel anxious,” adding, “The longer the time in empty classrooms, the greater the longing grows.”

He also assessed, “Schools facing unprecedented challenges and education are overcoming the crisis step by step, and as the tearful efforts of the school community gather, the starlight of the heart is becoming clearer.”

Superintendent Jang emphasized, “The most certain way to prepare for an uncertain future is cooperation, and we must laugh together,” adding, “Just as oxygen masks in an emergency during flight are applied to guardians first, the health and happiness of teachers can protect the classroom and children.”
