[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] A communication channel will be established to allow students and local figures to participate in the organization that deliberates on the revision of the elementary and secondary education curriculum.

On the 13th, the Ministry of Education announced that the partial amendment to the Curriculum Deliberation Committee regulations was reviewed and approved at the Cabinet meeting.

Through the amendment of the Curriculum Deliberation Committee regulations, a legal basis has been established for students and local community experts to participate in the formulation and revision of the curriculum.

The amendment includes strengthening the function of gathering opinions from students and local community experts in addition to the deliberation, investigation, and research functions related to the formulation and revision of the curriculum by the Curriculum Deliberation Committee, and establishing a participation committee composed of up to 60 students and local community experts.

The Ministry of Education announced the "Future-Oriented Curriculum Promotion Plan with the People" in April to flexibly respond to environmental changes such as the 4th Industrial Revolution and population decline.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education Yoo Eun-hye said, "Through this amendment, we expect to expand the participation of students and local communities, who are important stakeholders in our education, and create a future-oriented curriculum that closely connects students' lives and learning."
