Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education carried out personnel appointments for 199 general administrative officials effective March 1st.

In this personnel reshuffle, 60 individuals (1 at grade 4, 2 at grade 5, 15 at grade 6, 25 at grade 7, and 17 at grade 8) were promoted, and 57 were transferred to new positions. Additionally, 37 were newly appointed, while 45 retired or stepped down due to merit leave, retirement, or honorary retirement, resulting in changes in frontline positions.

This was conducted to promptly allocate necessary personnel to frontline institutions (schools) experiencing operational difficulties due to vacancies caused by leaves of absence and retirements. It also included promotions to higher ranks to boost the morale of lower-ranked officials.

Seon Seung-heon, the Safety and Welfare Division's Education Welfare Team Leader at the Provincial Office of Education, was promoted to Secretary and appointed as the Director of the vacant Gwangyang Lifelong Education Center, aiming to invigorate the organization with young and talented personnel.

At the Wando Office of Education's School Support Center, where a grade 5 general administrative official is appointed, candidates with expertise and capability were fairly selected through a position recruitment process. Two capable officials, promoted through the grade 5 evaluation and promotion system including competency assessments, were appointed.

Furthermore, the March personnel appointments reflected reductions in staff across various departments of the Provincial Office of Education to integrate and coordinate national policy sunset projects and overlapping tasks between national and provincial agencies, which had been burdensome for education support offices and schools.

Kim Chun-ho, Director of the Administration Bureau, stated, “To lead future education in the post-COVID-19 era, we will continuously select talented individuals with proven abilities and democratic leadership. We will also realize a personnel system that favors hardworking officials, creating a dynamic and vibrant organization.”
