[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] The Gyeongsangnam-do Office of Education distributed promotional materials that organize 333 words included in the booklet "Changing Japanese-style Terms in Schools Like This" at a glance to elementary, middle, and high schools as well as related organizations on the 29th.

This booklet was published in January this year after a one-year writing period last year and was distributed to elementary, middle, and high schools in Gyeongnam as well as related organizations such as metropolitan and provincial offices of education nationwide.

After distribution, there were many inquiries not only from related organizations, such as the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education's request for booklet distribution and local media's request for serialization, but also from citizens and schools across the country from Seoul to Jeju seeking to use it as educational material.

This promotional material was produced in a total of 8 pages to make it easy to find when changing Japanese-style terms used unconsciously into pure Korean words, and it was also uploaded on the Office of Education's website.

Superintendent Park Jong-hoon said, "This promotional material was distributed to spread the use of pure Korean terms that replace Japanese-style terms in school settings. The Office will continue to take the lead in efforts to change Japanese-style terms remaining in school life."
