[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] Chonnam National University announced on the 30th that Kim Hoe-su, Dean of the College of Education, was selected as the September 'Korean New Deal of the Month (Person)' hosted by the Blue House and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Dean Kim Hoe-su of Chonnam National University was selected based on the Ministry of Education's recommendation, which highly evaluated his contributions to the digital transformation of educational infrastructure, and received a plaque of appreciation at the award ceremony held at the Seoul Government Complex on the afternoon of September 30.

The 'Korean New Deal' is selected through recommendations from related New Deal ministries and evaluations by a private screening committee. In September, 12 nominations were submitted from 11 ministries, and four candidates, including Dean Kim, were finally selected.

Dean Kim Hoe-su has taken the lead in establishing a fairer educational safety net in the local community by having College of Education students continuously conduct online mentoring for students lacking basic academic skills and multicultural students using online engineering technology at the Future Education Center established on campus, and by having College of Education faculty support online education in school settings.

He has also actively supported the strengthening of prospective teachers' educational capabilities so that local schools, students, parents, and teacher training institutions can grow together as a symbiotic community.
