Among those who completed the basic education, 15 will receive advanced training to produce videos linked to the curriculum for direct use in school classes.

The advanced training will be conducted face-to-face in small groups from July 23 to 30, and the produced video content will be distributed to schools within Seongdong-gu to be used as online learning materials and promotional materials for village instructors.

A district official said, "The content produced by instructors who complete the advanced course after the basic education can be immediately used in school classes, and instructors will have the opportunity to be preferentially selected for school elective classes that will be introduced into the regular curriculum in the future."

Han Mi-ryeong (Eungbong-dong, 43), a village instructor, said, "I applaud the quick response of Seongdong. In these times when online classes are the main form, I was worried about where to learn video production as a village instructor, but I want to learn well through this opportunity and actively utilize it."

Jeong Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, "Village instructors are at the center of the village and school education community, which is the core of the Innovation Education District project," and added, "We will continue to make various efforts to strengthen the capabilities of village instructors so that children can grow up together with the village."
