[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 26th that it selected one top-performing department and two excellent departments for last year's core projects.

Core projects are designated by each department to enhance accountability and efficiency in promoting major educational policies in Gwangju.

The Office of Education evaluated a total of 38 core projects carried out last year and selected the Public Relations Officer of the Office as the top-performing department, and the Secondary Education Division and the Mathematics and Science Department of the Gwangju Creative Convergence Education Institute as excellent departments.

The Public Relations Officer, selected as the top-performing department, made efforts to diversify YouTube video content, including producing learning videos and training videos for staff.

Through active promotion, the number of YouTube subscribers increased approximately 30 times, from 212 in 2019 to 6,435 last year.

YouTube views increased about 90 times, from 16,755 in 2019 to 1,506,299 last year, enhancing the promotional impact of Gwangju education.

In particular, last year, they planned the 'Bitgoeul Gwangju Education Star Discovery Team' YouTube content, producing 13 videos featuring talent donations from famous celebrities such as Yunho Yunho, which recorded 72,770 views, maximizing the promotional effect of Gwangju education.

The Secondary Education Division, selected as an excellent department, organized the Bitgoeul Class and Evaluation Support Team consisting of 181 subject teachers from middle and high schools, and conducted on-site, school-visit training, greatly contributing to spreading best practices to all schools.

They also supported the activation of professional learning communities at individual schools during the unprecedented remote learning situation caused by COVID-19.

Additionally, through remote class content production and teacher online community activities, they enhanced teachers' expertise in teaching and evaluation.

Another excellent department, the Mathematics and Science Department of the Gwangju Creative Convergence Education Institute, changed projects that were impossible to conduct due to COVID-19 to operate programs such as 'Math Experience Enjoyed at Home,' 'Experience Visiting Schools,' and 'Classroom Math Experience at the School Level.'

To facilitate smooth remote teaching by teachers, they also opened various teacher training courses (19 courses) such as 'Job Training on Using Google Tools,' 'Production of Math Learning Materials for Remote Classes,' and 'Actual Elementary Online Classes,' actively supporting school math education.

Hyun Seok-ryong, Director of Policy Planning at the Gwangju Office of Education, said, "Since 2019, our office has discovered projects with high relevance to major Gwangju education policies and significant field contributions through core project management, and has operated them to ensure solid progress in Gwangju education. We will continue to make efforts to actively promote projects through ongoing management."
