[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 2nd that it will operate the 'Father School' for fathers with lower-grade elementary school children in the first half of this year at the small auditorium of the Gwangju Education Research Information Center starting this month.

Recently, with the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic increasing child-rearing at home, the role of fathers has become more important.

The 'Father School' was prepared to expand opportunities for fathers' participation in education considering this. It is expected to help create a healthy family culture by enhancing communication and empathy between fathers and children at home.

The 'Father School' will be conducted under themes such as ▲What kind of father am I? ▲Wise father's communication methods ▲Father's physical play school ▲Sex education for our children initiated by fathers.

The education will be held four times every Monday from the 10th to the 31st of this month.

The education time starts at 7 p.m. to encourage active participation from fathers who are working.

Ahn Seok, the Citizen Participation Officer of the Gwangju Office of Education, said, "I hope that fathers who have little time to spend with their children due to busy work life can resolve their concerns and difficulties regarding child education through the 'Father School'." He added, "'Father School' is expected to be an opportunity for fathers to learn how to communicate with their children and increase their confidence in child education."
