[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hong Jeonghwan] Ulsan Gangbuk Education Support Office and Gangnam Education Support Office conducted the ‘Dudream School Reflection Consulting’ online for all elementary schools in the district from the 16th to the 17th.

Dudream School is a unit school support project aimed at supporting slow learners. It provides learning guidance for slow learners, identifies the causes of learning difficulties in various ways, and offers appropriate customized programs.

This year, due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, there were limitations in the smooth operation of basic academic skills support programs, raising concerns about the deepening of learning deficits. However, unable to give up on slow learners, thorough quarantine measures were implemented, and students were supported through one-on-one customized face-to-face guidance and counseling to minimize learning deficits.

The consulting was promoted to bring together those in charge of basic academic skills to discuss and propose solutions to issues in project implementation, and to share cases of supporting basic academic skills programs through school project restructuring.

A teacher who participated in the consulting said, “In a situation where communication between schools was difficult due to COVID-19, operating Dudream School was challenging, but even though it was online, it was a great help to share our struggles with empathy and find solutions together.”

An education office official said, “It takes a whole school to raise a child. Although Dudream School has taken root and established itself in the school field, I hope the support office’s consulting has laid the groundwork for creating a healthy forest and solid soil.”

He added, “We will continue to steadily monitor the improvement of basic academic skills, create opportunities for communication with those in charge, and actively support administration so that the school field and all can grow together.”

Gangbuk and Gangnam Education Support Offices plan to publish a booklet of excellent cases of elementary Dudream School operation and distribute it to all elementary schools.
