[This Person] Moon Seok-jin, Seodaemun-gu Mayor, Praised by Local Principals: Why?

Principal A Opens with "I Hesitated for a Year and a Half to Post Praise for the District Mayor on the District-Run Website but Finally Posted Due to Strong Admiration," Sparking Attention

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Moon Seok-jin, the mayor of Seodaemun-gu, recently became a hot topic after receiving praise from Principal A of an elementary school in the district through the "Let's Compliment" section on the district's official website.

Principal A began by saying, "I hesitated for a year and a half, wondering if it was appropriate to post a compliment about the mayor on the district's website, but my desire to praise him was so strong that I finally decided to write this now."

He continued, "Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic until now, the person who has helped the school the most has been Mayor Moon." He recalled how the mayor quickly supported the demand for tablets among students around the time the pandemic broke out, as well as the prompt installation of internet Wi-Fi and electronic blackboards within the school.

Principal A also applauded Seodaemun-gu for supporting teachers, who became even busier by producing video lesson materials, conducting remote classes with equipment, and calling students who missed classes to encourage attendance, by providing TA (Teaching Assistant) personnel last year.

He further praised, "This year, they selected Digital Tutors to provide jobs for young people and support educational activities within schools using digital technology, as well as the learning activities of students attending remote classes at home."

Emphasizing that "investing in education is illuminating the future of the Republic of Korea," Principal A concluded his message by saying, "I praise Mayor Moon for opening up broader and deeper educational benefits so that we can prepare for the rapidly changing future society."
