[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education has selected four key tasks for Jeonnam education in 2021 with the goal of ‘Sustainable Jeonnam Future Education Where Everyone Shines.’

According to the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education on the 20th, Superintendent Jang Seok-woong will announce the ‘Jeonnam Education 2021’ key tasks in his policy speech at the Jeollado Provincial Council on the 24th. The tasks are ▲ Responsible Basic Academic Skills Education ▲ Lesson Innovation Preparing for the Future ▲ Fostering Sustainable Future Schools ▲ Organizational Culture and Administrative Innovation.

While maintaining the existing five major educational indicators of Jeonnam education, the ‘Jeonnam Education 2021’ key tasks were presented under the goal of leading a major transformation in education during the COVID-19 era.

‘Responsible Basic Academic Skills Education’ was proposed as a solution to address the learning gap revealed during the COVID-19 situation. To ensure solid basic academic skills at the lower elementary level, 40 specialized regular teachers will operate a dedicated basic academic skills teacher system to support early literacy and numeracy improvement.

Plans include establishing the Jeonnam Basic Academic Skills Support Center as a control tower for improving basic academic skills of Jeonnam students and securing a system to support learning deficits and basic academic skills.

‘Lesson Innovation Preparing for the Future’ is a task to improve the problems experienced with online classes during COVID-19. The policy is to innovate online classes by building an online learning support system, activating blended learning, and operating curricula that link online and offline education.

‘Fostering Sustainable Future Schools’ aims to overcome the poor educational conditions in Jeonnam, which faces the crisis of disappearing regions due to declining school-age population. Based on the achievements and strengths of innovative schools, the plan is to create Jeonnam’s future schools as hubs for innovating public education, and within the broad framework of future schools, to promote future-type integrated operation schools and Green Smart Future Schools.

‘Organizational Culture and Administrative Innovation’ involves innovating organizational culture and operational systems to respond quickly to crises and changes. This includes reorganizing educational administration to be policy-centered and support-centered, strengthening the functions of education support offices focused on school support, innovating personnel based on future-oriented competencies, and establishing a virtuous cycle system of policy evaluation that feeds evaluation results back into policy.

Superintendent Jang Seok-woong emphasized, “Next year, through new key tasks, we will enhance fairness and autonomy in education, nurture democratic citizens who will open Jeonnam’s future in the post-COVID-19 era, and make Jeonnam education a new standard.”
