Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education to Develop 'Post-Corona' Education Policy... Conducts Target Group Interviews

6 Group In-depth Interviews (FGI) and Monitor Team Survey Results Confirmed
Future Education Policy Planning Team Launching in July to Detail New Education Policies

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 15th that it will conduct various focus group interviews (FGI) targeting different groups by the 19th to develop new policies in preparation for the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

The Office of Education explained that this meeting was organized with the purpose of establishing a new turning point for future competency education policies from a long-term perspective, along with a more systematic response to the unprecedented situation of delayed school openings and blended online and offline education.

The targeted groups for the in-depth interviews were divided into six groups: general teachers, extracurricular teachers, principals and vice principals, parents, school administrative staff, and education experts and veterans, with a total of 34 participants, 5 to 6 per group.

The opinions gathered from each group’s in-depth interviews will be developed into specific survey questions by domain through multidimensional qualitative and quantitative analysis by education statistics experts. Subsequently, a survey will be conducted from the 22nd to the 26th targeting the Daegu Future Education Policy Monitoring Group, which consists of about 1,500 members.

The Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education plans to provide the contents of the group interviews and the survey results from the Daegu Future Education Policy Monitoring Group to the Daegu Future Education Policy Planning Team, which will be launched in early July, thereby concretizing education policies to prepare for the 'post-COVID' era.

A representative from the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education stated, "Even during the three postponed school openings, the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education proposed school attendance methods suitable for the region and established a systematic response system by producing and distributing its own manual before the school opening." He emphasized, "At a time when voices calling for change and reform are emerging inside and outside the education sector, proactive responses through FGIs will become a turning point for Daegu’s future competency education policies."
