Poet Andohyeon Conducts 'Poetry Creation' Class in Hometown Yecheon... Gyeongbuk Office of Education Supports On-site Classes

Mentors for Joint Education Curriculum Ahead of Full Implementation of High School Credit System in 2025

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] The Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education announced on the 14th that it will secure professional workers capable of teaching subjects such as arts, physical education, and liberal arts in preparation for the full implementation of the high school credit system in 2025, and will support highly practical classes on site.

As the first case, high schools in Yecheon will jointly offer a 'Poetry Creation' course starting in September. In this regard, the Gyeongbuk Office of Education supported inviting the famous poet Ando-hyun, a native of Yecheon, as an instructor.

Poet Ando-hyun has been conducting poetry creation classes every Monday evening from the second semester starting in September for about 10 high school students in Yecheon. The instructor fees and students' nighttime commuting expenses are fully supported by the Gyeongbuk Office of Education.

Kim Su-yeon (2nd year, Yecheon Girls' High School), who participated in this class, said, "It is amazing and very exciting to meet and listen to the poet I learned about in textbooks in person. I look forward to it a lot," adding, "I will learn and master poetry creation techniques to become a nationally recognized student poet."

Kwon Young-geun, Director of Secondary Education, said, "There is an old saying that half of Joseon's talents are in Yeongnam. There are many talents from Gyeongbuk who are active in various fields," and added, "We plan to expand opportunities for them to directly teach their knowledge and talents to hometown juniors and develop this into a distinctive project of the Gyeongbuk-style high school credit system."
