[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education will distribute 7,600 copies of the student textbook "Chanchan Hangeul" for learning Hangeul to first-grade elementary school students in the district.

"Chanchan Hangeul" is intended to prevent learning loss among first-grade elementary students due to delays in school attendance and opening caused by COVID-19, as well as the concurrent operation of remote and in-person classes.

This book was developed by the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation under the commission of 17 metropolitan and provincial offices of education, following the strengthening of Hangeul education in the 2015 revised curriculum.

It is a Hangeul study textbook developed to teach the "characteristics and principles of Hangeul" at a level suitable for lower-grade elementary students, featuring activity-centered demonstrations that allow students to observe, imitate, compare, and apply on their own.

The Metropolitan Office of Education has been working systematically to guide Hangeul education since early this year according to the "2020 Academic Year Plan to Strengthen Responsible Hangeul Education," including providing guidance on Hangeul education hours, introducing the "Hangeul Tto-bak Tto-bak" program, distributing video training materials for comprehensive Hangeul education, sending home notices to new students, and distributing promotional leaflets to parents of preschool children.

Won Ok-soon, Director of Elementary Education, said, "We will continue to support responsible Hangeul education through the development of student guidance materials and teacher training."
