[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 14th that it has published the ‘Regional Parent Education Integrated Calendar’ to provide customized educational services to parents and local residents.

The ‘Parent Education Integrated Calendar’ was created to allow easy inquiries by including the education topics, dates, locations, organizing institutions, and contact numbers of persons in charge tailored to the characteristics of the 22 cities and counties in Jeonnam Province.

It also contains various information to enhance efficiency, such as the functions of key parent support centers and the roles of parent associations necessary for parents.

The Office of Education posted this calendar on the ‘Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education website’ and the ‘Jeonnam Parent Hanmadang’ Band so that it can be accessed on PCs and mobile devices.

Jeonnam’s parent associations have firmly established themselves as autonomous bodies within schools since the ‘Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education School Parent Association Establishment and Operation Ordinance’ was enacted in March last year, and some ordinances including kindergartens were revised in May. Furthermore, all parents are now participating in educational activities as members of the educational community, moving away from the past participation centered on a few parent representatives.

The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education plans to distribute the Parent Education Integrated Calendar to parents through city and county education support offices and promote it to local residents through related institutions such as local libraries and health family and multicultural family support centers.

Kim Tae-moon, Director of Policy Planning, said, “We expect that the Parent Education Integrated Calendar published this year will lead to cooperation between education support offices and local governments, enabling us to provide diverse customized education to parents and local residents.”
