[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The Statistics Korea plans to operate a Big Data Academy starting this year. This is to cultivate next-generation core data talents.

On the 15th, Ryu Geunkwan, Commissioner of Statistics Korea, held a talk concert via video with the government innovation group 'Government Innovation Avengers' and discussed innovation plans for Statistics Korea, including the realization of the K-Statistics System and the operation of the Big Data Academy.

The Big Data Academy will select participants from Statistics Korea employees and operate four levels of courses?beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert?comprising online lectures, group studies, and collaboration with external organizations.

Employees who develop their skills through the academy and obtain the Big Data Analyst certification will receive personnel bonus points and opportunities for short-term overseas training.

Statistics Korea also plans to implement a 'work diet' to reduce unnecessary tasks and focus on statistical services for the public.

To innovate the conventional reporting culture, the '1:1:1 Campaign,' which has been ongoing since February, will continue.

The 1:1:1 Campaign derives its name from 10% commissioner reports, 10% face-to-face reports, and one-page reports, aiming to simplify work reporting.
