[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul City announced on the 2nd that it is recruiting the 10th class of the ‘Food Education Parent Instructor Training Program,’ which will manage and take responsibility for children's dietary habits and health. Seoul City aims to select 80 parent students from schools within the district and train them as food education experts through the training program. After completing the course, they will work as food instructors in the local community.

The ‘Food Education Parent Instructor Training Program’ consists of a total of 18 lectures across 4 fields, starting with an orientation. The four fields are △Dietary Habits for Health △Dietary Habits for the Local Community △Dietary Habits for the Global Environment △Food Education Theory and Practice.

The training course will be conducted online for one month from June 1 to June 30. Those who attend more than 80% of the course and score 80 points or higher on the comprehensive exam will receive a certificate of completion issued by the Mayor of Seoul and qualify to work as ‘Food Education Parent Instructors.’

‘Food Education Parent Instructors’ can participate in the city’s regularly held ‘Advanced Education and Activation Programs’ and the ‘Parent Safe Food Ingredient Monitoring Group,’ among others. As local food experts, they will play a role in spreading the value of eco-friendly school meals from schools to homes and the local community. The city expects this to provide a new opportunity for social activities for parents who have experienced career interruptions.

Priority is given to applicants who hold licenses or certificates in related fields or have experience in food education. Interested parents should complete the application form and submit it via email by the 21st. Seoul City plans to notify applicants individually of the results by the 26th.

Lee Dae-hyun, Director of Lifelong Education, said, “If moms and dads directly promote the importance of eco-friendly dietary habits within the community and educate children, there could be no more effective way. We ask for the citizens’ great interest in the ‘Parent Instructor Group,’ which will help our children practice proper dietary habits and provide an opportunity for parents with career interruptions to engage in social activities.”
