[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] A gathering will be held where 13 cities and provinces nationwide come together to share excellent cases of civil servant education developed and operated by each local government and explore cooperation measures.


On the 24th, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's Local Autonomy Human Resources Development Institute announced that on the 25th, the 39th Local Government Human Resources Development Contest (HRD Contest) will be held with about 100 participants including instructors and online evaluators from education and training institutions nationwide, as well as staff members, attending remotely.


The participation fields are divided into Lecture/Speech (individual) and Curriculum Development (institution), with a total of 16 entries submitted, including 6 educational programs independently developed to suit the post-COVID-19 era or local field conditions, and 10 lecture techniques that effectively deliver lecture content.


The entries will be evaluated by external experts and the online evaluation team through preliminary document screening and on-site presentation evaluation, selecting a final 12 entries for awards. The top institution in the Curriculum Development field (institution) will receive the Presidential Award, and the best presenter in the Lecture/Speech field (individual) will be honored with the Prime Minister's Award. The awarded works will be published as a collection of best practices and distributed to education institutions and local fields nationwide for utilization support.



Kim Jang-hoe, Director of the Local Autonomy Human Resources Development Institute, said, “The COVID-19 situation should be taken as an opportunity to transform the education paradigm, making it a time when the introduction of new educational methods and the development of diverse content are necessary. The roles and mutual cooperation of education and training institutions in each city and province are more important than ever.” He added, “Through this contest, we hope not only to improve education and training capabilities but also to discover educational models suitable for future education after COVID-19.”
