[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jang Seok-woong, Superintendent of Education for Jeonnam, announced on the 16th that he participated in the ‘Expecting Local Autonomy Relay Challenge’ campaign.

The ‘Expecting Local Autonomy Relay Challenge’ is a campaign to support the full-scale opening of the Local Autonomy 2.0 era, following the Local Autonomy Act passed by the National Assembly on December 9 last year and approved by the Cabinet meeting on the 5th of last month.

This campaign proceeds by taking a photo with a ‘support message,’ posting it on SNS, and then nominating the next participant.

Superintendent Jang participated in this campaign upon the nomination of Kim Jae-gyu, Chief of Jeonnam Police Agency.

Superintendent Jang posted a photo holding a placard saying, “Happy Jeonnam Education with Residents! Jeollanam-do Office of Education will take the lead,” on his social networking service (SNS), stating, “I will strive for educational autonomy that strengthens residents’ sovereignty and centers on students.”

He then nominated Kim Seon-yu, President of the Jeonnam Parents Association, Ko Young-jin, President of Suncheon University, and Lee Moon-po, Director of Jindo Education Support Office, as the next participants in the campaign.
