Policy Forum on Stabilizing Operations of Gyeongnam Regional Childcare Centers Held on the 24th
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Park Junho, a member of the Gyeongnam Provincial Council (Gimhae 7, Democratic Party), held a 'Policy Discussion for Stabilizing the Operation of Regional Children's Centers in Gyeongnam' at the Gyeongnam Provincial Council on the 24th.
About 50 workers and parents from regional children's centers in the province attended the discussion.
Ok Kyungwon, president of the Korea Regional Children's Center Association, gave a keynote speech titled "Looking Toward the Gyeongnam Era as a Hub for Childcare."
President Ok said, "The will of local governments is important in efforts to stabilize the operation of regional children's centers," adding, "It is necessary to look ahead and establish a childcare foundation for children."
It was found that improving the poor conditions of regional children's centers is urgent to stabilize their operation.
In particular, various voices were raised at the discussion calling for improvements in the facilities of poor regional children's centers and the treatment of their workers.
Yoon Hyunsook, director of the Pureunmulgyul Happy Homeschool Regional Children's Center, who participated as a discussant, stated, "The operating expenses of regional children's centers do not even meet the annual wage increase rate, which lowers the quality of childcare services," and urged, "Please comply with the Ministry of Health and Welfare's wage guidelines to enable efficient and organic work progress."
