[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 24th that it has abruptly appointed Kim Hae-ryong, head of the Suncheon Education Support Center, as the Yeosu Education Director, effective January 1 of next year.

This appointment was made urgently to fill the vacancy left by the late Kim Yong-dae, former Yeosu Education Director, who passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage on the 4th, as the position could not remain vacant for an extended period. Kim Hae-ryong, head of the Suncheon Education Support Center, was appointed as the successor education director.

The newly appointed Education Director Kim Hae-ryong, born in 1965, reflects the personnel style of Superintendent Jang Seok-ung, who actively responds to the rapidly changing educational environment in Jeonnam with young and dynamic educational administration, following Kim Gap-su, the Mokpo Education Director.

The Provincial Office of Education stated that this appointment was carried out by activating the Major Position Recommendation Committee, focusing on selecting talent capable of implementing the philosophy and policies of Innovative Jeonnam Education at the school level.

Superintendent Jang Seok-ung said, “In order to respond to the rapidly changing recent educational environment, it is undesirable to have a prolonged absence of an education director, so we hastened to appoint a successor education director,” adding, “Based on expertise in education and democratic leadership, we expect him to lead Innovative Jeonnam Education and greatly contribute to the development of Yeosu Education.”
