[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Park Jong-hoon, Superintendent of Gyeongsangnam-do Office of Education, participated in the 'Expecting Local Autonomy Challenge' campaign on the 21st to mark the opening of the Local Autonomy 2.0 era.

The 'Expecting Local Autonomy Challenge' is a campaign launched last month by the Presidential Committee on Local Autonomy to share hopes for realizing resident-centered local autonomy, the main agents of local self-government.

Local Autonomy 2.0 marks the beginning of an era centered on residents, moving away from the previous Local Autonomy 1.0 era focused on central and local governments.

Superintendent Park expressed his commitment, saying, "Gyeongnam education will achieve local autonomy where residents are the main actors and educational autonomy centered on students together with the educational community."

By participating in this challenge, Superintendent Park stated, "Taking the comprehensive revision of the Local Autonomy Act, achieved for the first time in 32 years, as an opportunity, we will create Gyeongnam education that strives harder to realize school autonomy, where communication and empathy exist in educational autonomy, and where a thousand schools become a thousand flower gardens, growing into schools that bloom 400,000 flowers in their own colors."

Superintendent Park nominated Song Soon-ho, Chair of the Education Committee of the Gyeongsangnam-do Council, as the next participant in the challenge.
