Gyeongnam Provincial Office of Education Devotes to Children's Future Education... 494 Projects Abolished

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] The Gyeongnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 23rd that it has abolished a total of 494 projects this year to create an autonomous school culture centered on the essence of education.

This project reorganization was promoted to move away from a top-down policy led by the provincial office of education and to create autonomous school self-governance conditions centered on individual schools, helping schools focus on the essence of education and future education.

In particular, a survey was conducted targeting about 7,000 faculty members to reflect the demands of the school field in the bottom-up project reorganization.

An 'Education Policy Jury' consisting of 89 field teachers was also assigned to closely communicate with the headquarters' departments and reorganize the projects.

Through this policy project reorganization targeting schools at the headquarters, projects that could burden teachers' educational activities were drastically abolished.

Projects that could be autonomously and distinctively carried out with budget support were transferred to schools to support school autonomy.

In addition, group training for teachers was converted to an online format to minimize business trips during work hours, and exhibition-type events or one-time projects unrelated to the essence of education were boldly abolished.

Superintendent Park Jong-hoon said, "To nurture creative future talents leading the post-COVID era, we must further drastically reduce administrative tasks so that teachers can focus solely on future education."
