Changwon Office of Education Operates Public Deliberation Task Force for Appropriate Middle School Assignment

Operation from March to establish reasonable placement and assignment plans

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] The Changwon Office of Education in Gyeongnam announced on the 10th that it will form and operate a Public Deliberation Promotion Team to optimize the placement and assignment of middle school students.

In Changwon, complaints regarding the formation and assignment of middle school classes have been recurring every year due to changes in student placement conditions caused by regional disparities in student numbers, depopulation of old downtown areas, and redevelopment projects.

To address this, the Public Deliberation Promotion Team, composed of education experts, school staff, and parents, will be operated starting in March.

From the 10th to the 19th, the team will be formed through recruitment, screening, and appointment of members. Then, from March to May, over approximately three months, a deliberation process will be conducted to derive appropriate measures for optimizing middle school student placement and assignment.

The recruitment of members was announced on the 10th through the Changwon Office of Education website, and applications will be accepted until the 19th. After screening, the list of selected members will be individually notified on the 25th and posted in the announcements section of the Changwon Office of Education website.

Superintendent Jeong Wooseok said, “Through the in-depth deliberation process of the Public Deliberation Promotion Team, I hope that appropriate class formation that fits student placement conditions and assignment plans satisfying education consumers will be derived. We will always strive to view educational issues from the perspective of education consumers and actively promote policies based on consensus within the educational community.”
