Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education Drastically Reorganizes School Site 'Camps and Contests'... 52 Projects Abolished

92 Schools' On-site Programs Also Newly Organized

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 8th that it will significantly reorganize school field programs, including abolishing 52 school projects, as a means to establish a classroom culture faithful to the essence of learning.

This measure, which was made by collecting field opinions from groups such as the 'Daegu Future Education Policy Planning Team,' 'School Autonomy Field Advisory Group,' and 'Official Document Monitoring Team,' will have its follow-up detailed guidelines reflected in the establishment of the 2021 major work plans and budget allocation.

The main abolished projects include various camps, competitions, and contests such as ▲School Art Experience Camp ▲Children's Nutrition Camp ▲Bilingual Camp ▲Dance Contest for Students with Disabilities ▲Southern Theater and Musical Reading Play Contest ▲Happy School Meals Drawing, UCC, and Photo Contest ▲Future Talk Talk UCC Contest, among others.

Along with this, 92 school field programs will also be newly reorganized. Major improvement projects include ▲Avoiding scheduling the Teacher-Student Respect Happy Time during regular class hours and improving it through autonomous operation ▲Operating the Superintendent's Cup Sports Competition for Students with Disabilities experience booths biennially ▲Conducting minimum item surveys during science education status investigations ▲Expanding the languages provided in the multilingual translation service using the website. The Office of Education explained that the scope of improvements has been expanded beyond reducing school workload to strengthening school support.

In June, the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education also canceled or reduced 164 school-targeted projects that were difficult to proceed normally this year due to COVID-19, allowing teachers to focus on preparing and conducting remote classes for online school openings.

An official from the Office of Education said, "There were many efforts from various departments and institutions of the Office of Education to reflect diverse opinions from school fields," adding, "We plan to continuously manage school-targeted projects to reduce school workload and strengthen the autonomy of individual schools."
