[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Muan Office of Education announced on the 18th that it held the '2nd Meeting for Establishing the 2021 School-Village Linked Joint Curriculum' on the 16th, attended by more than 40 people including school principals and village activists.

This meeting was held to once again review the direction of the post-COVID-19 educational community, following the first meeting held for village activists and school vice principals.

Professor Yang Byung-chan of Kongju National University, who served as the lecturer, emphasized under the theme of 'Future Education and Village Educational Community,' “There is a mixed perspective of expectations and concerns regarding the recent explosive increase in interest in village educational communities. Education by the village, where students and residents are the main agents, should be emphasized through joint decision-making with the division of roles among the public, private, and academic sectors.”

The attendees spent time building educational governance among related organizations such as the local community, schools, and local governments, and jointly considering regional education.

A village school activist who attended the meeting said, “It takes time to form a village-based educational community like the lecture examples,” and added, “For the establishment of a sustainable educational ecosystem, schools and villages need to meet frequently to communicate and cooperate.”

Education Superintendent Kim Ran stated, “To strengthen the bonds of the village educational community, I will actively communicate with local governments and private organizations and listen carefully to the voices of school sites and village activists.”
