[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 23rd that Mokpo Sangdong Elementary School Attached Kindergarten participated in the remote class support group and successfully led non-face-to-face play-centered remote classes in early childhood education settings where remote classes are difficult.

This kindergarten conducted a remote curriculum reflecting the opinions of the educational community in real time to practice the '2019 Revised Nuri Curriculum,' leading play-based education driven by young children.

Also, with the principal's active interest and support, kindergarten teachers operated a professional learning community and participated in the remote class support group together with local teachers to develop content.

In particular, to enable families who have difficulty preparing class materials to participate in classes, remote class content and play support materials were produced and distributed, receiving positive responses from parents.

Additionally, reflecting parents' suggestions who wanted to develop various play-centered content, a cyclical restructuring of the remote class curriculum was implemented to allow continuous interactive communication.

Principal Kim Hye-young stated, “Along with operating the elementary school, we spared no interest and support in various aspects such as operating the attached kindergarten curriculum, providing a safe environment, and facilities and equipment suitable for development.”

Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education plans to gradually establish a wireless network for kindergartens with its own budget, as kindergartens were excluded from the Ministry of Education’s ‘Remote Class Wireless Network Environment Construction Project Plan.’

Superintendent Jang Seok-woong said, “Due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, we will spare no support so that our children can be safe and happy anywhere in the unpredictable future society.”
