The Gyeonggi Office of Education announced on the 30th that it recently formed a dedicated team and held its first meeting to discuss areas needing improvement in the operation of facility cleaners.

The dedicated team will conduct on-site inspections by dividing into direct agency investigation teams and school investigation teams. Based on this, they will review the appropriateness of facility cleaner placement standards, working hours, and environment, and work on improving any deficiencies.
