[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 22nd that Jeonnam Superintendent of Education Jang Seok-woong has resumed the Listening Olle, which had been suspended due to COVID-19.

Superintendent Jang Seok-woong had continuously conducted the Listening Olle, visiting school sites to hear the voices of educational stakeholders since his inauguration in July 2018, but suspended it due to the impact of COVID-19 and restarted his visits from the 21st.

The school Superintendent Jang visited for the Listening Olle on this day was Cheonggye Nam Elementary School in Muan-gun, the same school he first visited on his inauguration day two years ago.

Superintendent Jang observed the monthly meeting of the Cheonggye Nam Elementary School Parents' Association and listened to the parents' voices. Then, at the Listening Olle titled "Wise School Participation of Parents in the COVID-19 Era," Superintendent Jang asked about improvements to school meals, which he had discussed with parents during his visit two years ago.

The Cheonggye Nam Elementary School Parents' Association holds a "Saranggabang Monthly Meeting" every Thursday at 7 p.m., reflecting on how the parents' association's activities have helped the school and discussing what needs to be done for the school. Thanks to these consistent efforts, the Cheonggye Nam Elementary School Parents' Association is recognized as a model parents' association cooperating with the school to support student growth.

Superintendent Jang Seok-woong said, "I am pleased to see the school, which came with concerns two years ago, growing with students, parents, and staff in a democratic culture," and added, "I thank the parents who supported remote learning and quarantine during COVID-19, and let us continue to cooperate between school and home to support students' health and learning."

The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education plans to continue the Listening Olle for educational families and residents through various methods, including online and offline, in accordance with the COVID-19 era.
