[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Damyang Office of Education announced that from the 24th to the 27th, it will hold the ‘2021 Cheongjukgol Teacher Academy’ for about 300 kindergarten, elementary, and middle school teachers to enhance their professional capabilities for future education.

Started voluntarily in 2007 and now in its 14th year, the Cheongjukgol Teacher Academy will be operated both online and offline this year, coinciding with the second year of COVID-19.

The first day of this Cheongjukgol Teacher Academy week featured a special lecture by Professor Yang Byeongchan of Kongju National University titled ‘Creation of Village Education Communities through Cooperation between Villages and Regions,’ fitting for the year marking the enactment of the ‘Local Education Autonomy Act’ and the 30th anniversary of educational autonomy.

On the second day, a ‘Village Education Community Revitalization Forum’ will be held to realize sustainable Damyang education based on educational autonomy in cooperation with village education communities.

Considering the COVID-19 situation, on-site attendance will be minimized, and the content will be shared and participated in via real-time YouTube broadcast for those not attending on-site.

There will also be a session to discuss ways to activate village-linked curriculum operation along with keynote presentations by representatives of village schools.

The Teacher Academy will continue with lectures such as Professor Kim Nuri’s ‘Educational Revolution in the Post-Corona Era,’ Director Oh Gi-chul of Blue Asia’s lecture on ‘Two Solutions in the Climate Crisis Era!,’ and conclude with school-based training on the last day.

Superintendent Kim Cheolju stated, “Future education is about changing the rules of the game. To realize educational autonomy, the public, private, and academic sectors must all join forces,” proposing an educational alliance that can keep pace with the changes of the times.
