Gwangju Office of Education Announces Plan to Activate Pre-Consulting and Proactive Administration Immunity

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 9th a ‘Pre-consultation and Active Administration Exemption Activation Plan’ to actively support schools working hard to respond to COVID-19 in the new semester.

Pre-consultation is a system where, in cases where regulations or precedents are unclear and active administration is hesitant at the frontline, opinions are sought from the audit department, and if the work is carried out according to those opinions, responsibility is exempted.

The Metropolitan Office of Education expects the situation of concurrent in-person and remote classes due to COVID-19 to continue for the time being, and to resolve difficulties in the educational field, it will shorten the response period for consultation requests from the existing 30 days to 15 days.

In addition, mistakes made while actively promoting administration will be exempted through the audit review committee, supporting active administration from an audit perspective.

Last year, through pre-consultation, the Metropolitan Office of Education resolved difficulties faced by citizens and schools amid the COVID-19 crisis, such as purchasing thermal cameras and masks and postponing the election of school operation committees.

Inspector Bae Min of the Metropolitan Office of Education said, “We will actively support business departments and schools so that public officials can find the best methods, handle tasks based on creativity and expertise, and solve difficulties in the field.”
