[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] On the 18th, the Gyeongbuk Office of Education announced that in the 2020 Anti-Corruption Policy Evaluation conducted for 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 assessment conducted by the Gyeongbuk Office of Education itself to evaluate the voluntary anti-corruption efforts of its affiliated institutions, and it has been conducted annually since 2012. This year, to reduce the workload of schools at all levels, only education support offices were evaluated, excluding schools.

The main evaluation items include 13 categories such as establishment of anti-corruption plans, building infrastructure for participation in integrity policies, securing transparency in the promotion of integrity policies, removal and improvement of corruption-inducing factors, activation of integrity education and activities, integrity evaluation of high-ranking public officials, and improvement of public institution integrity.

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

Goryeong Education Support Office, the best institution in the county area, achieved higher scores 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.

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 said, "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."
