Busan Metropolitan Office of Education.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Kim Seok-jun) has established and is implementing this year's 'Active Administration Implementation Plan.'

This project is prepared to spread active administration and establish a proactive organizational culture.

Active administration refers to public officials actively handling tasks based on creativity and expertise for the public interest, such as improving unreasonable regulations.

This plan consists of four major strategies: 'Creating an Active Administration Culture,' 'Strengthening Preferential Treatment for Active Administration Public Officials,' 'Expanding Protection and Support for Active Administration Public Officials,' and 'Preventing and Reforming Passive Administration.'

'Creating an Active Administration Culture' aims to enhance the convenience of education consumers and resolve inconveniences, selecting three key tasks: ▲ prompt and professional handling of school-related matters ▲ improvement of the design competition system ▲ improvement of school routes through land ownership exchange.

'Strengthening Preferential Treatment for Active Administration Public Officials' aims to further activate active administration by selecting outstanding public officials who have produced results through active administration and promoted creative policies, expanding personnel incentives such as special promotions, awarding the highest grade of performance bonuses, and special advancements.

In the case of 'Expanding Protection and Support for Active Administration Public Officials,' when it is difficult to actively carry out tasks due to regulations such as approvals, permits, registrations, reports, or unclear laws during the process of promoting active administration, proactive pre-consultations will be conducted.

During internal audits, exemption criteria for active administration will be applied flexibly, and decisions on exemptions will be made promptly. Additionally, support from the education office's legal counsel will be available for legal interpretation and litigation reviews arising from active administration.

'Preventing and Reforming Passive Administration' operates a 'Passive Administration Reporting Center' on the education office's website to raise awareness among affiliated public officials about passive administration, and holds passive administration public officials accountable based on the degree of misconduct and whether it was intentional or negligent.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education received a total of 18 excellent cases from various institutions in February and selected five outstanding public officials?two top performers, one excellent, and two encouragement awards?through the first preliminary review and the second active administration committee review.

These public officials were granted personnel incentives such as special promotions, preferred transfers, and priority selection for training.

Lee Il-kwon, the education office auditor, said, "We will establish an active administration culture in educational administrative institutions and schools," adding, "Through this, we will ensure that education families and stakeholders can feel the changes."
