[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] The Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education will hold the 'Education Hope Camp with Pre-service Teachers' over five days from the 3rd to the 7th at Mungyeong Elementary School and Mungyeong Hogye Elementary School, attended by 80 students, 31 people including supervising professors and students from Daegu National University of Education.

The Education Hope Camp is based on an agreement between the Gyeongbuk Office of Education and Daegu National University of Education. It was organized to enhance the learning motivation and provide emotional support for students in rural farming and fishing villages, as well as to improve the understanding and adaptability of pre-service elementary teachers from Daegu National University of Education to the educational field. This camp, which was suspended in 2015, was resumed last year due to the educational needs such as the schools' requests and the need to improve pre-service teachers' understanding of the educational field.

The Education Hope Camp is operated as a one-day, three-hour program for students from grades 3 to 6 in elementary school, offering various arts and physical education experience programs in three areas: music, art, and physical education. This year, considering the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the program is focused mainly on art and physical education areas.

Lee Yong-man, Director of the Department of Early Childhood and Elementary Education, said, "The Education Hope Camp is a model that satisfies everyone by providing beneficial experience programs for students in rural farming and fishing areas and helping pre-service teachers understand and adapt to the educational environment of rural areas." He also expressed gratitude to the pre-service teachers from Daegu National University of Education who participated in this educational donation.
