[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education announced on the 17th that, as a result of the 2020 Anti-Corruption Policy Evaluation conducted on the local education support offices, Gumi and Goryeong Education Support Offices were selected as the best institutions, and Gyeongsan and Yeongdeok Education Support Offices were selected as excellent institutions.

The 'Anti-Corruption Policy Evaluation' is an evaluation conducted annually since 2012 by the Gyeongbuk Office of Education itself to assess the voluntary anti-corruption efforts of its affiliated institutions.

In this year's evaluation, schools at all levels were excluded to reduce their workload. The main evaluation items consist of 13 detailed tasks, including building infrastructure for participation in integrity policies, ensuring transparency in the promotion of integrity policies, eliminating and improving corruption-inducing factors, and evaluating the integrity of high-ranking public officials.

The Gumi Education Support Office, selected as the best institution in the city area, received excellent scores for implementing the One Institution One Practice project, exemplary cases of integrity leadership by high-ranking public officials, and improvement in external integrity ratings of public institutions.

The Goryeong Education Support Office, the best institution in the county area, scored higher than other institutions in establishing anti-corruption integrity promotion plans, exemplary cases of integrity leadership by high-ranking public officials, and participation in integrity contests.

The Gumi and Goryeong Education Support Offices, selected as the best institutions, will receive the benefit of exemption from comprehensive audits during the relevant period.

Auditor Lee Eun-mi stated, "To support the voluntary integrity promotion efforts of institutions at all levels and to encourage active interest and participation of members, we will continue to promote policies to spread a culture of integrity."
