[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has completed the reorganization of educational policy projects to normalize school operations in preparation for the With COVID-19 era.

On the 13th, the Busan Office of Education announced that it had reorganized 103 educational policy projects that placed burdens on schools or were inefficient.

In June, the Busan Office of Education began the first round of internal reorganization by department for 461 educational policy projects, followed by a second round of reorganization by department reflecting school site monitoring and survey results.

Subsequently, through deliberations by the ‘Educational Policy Coordination Deliberation Council,’ a total of 103 projects that burdened schools or were inefficient were reorganized.

Among these, 14 projects such as educational administration research execution and advanced future classroom construction were abolished, and 11 projects including the reduction in the number of research schools were downsized. Additionally, 25 projects such as the multi-system treatment support project for maladjusted children were integrated.

Furthermore, for 78 projects including audit activities and global field learning, the methods of project implementation will be improved.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education plans to continuously manage these projects by implementing a ‘Cumulative Management System for Educational Policy Project Reorganization History’ to prevent omissions of projects subject to reorganization.

Also, the results of this educational policy project reorganization will be reflected in the 2022 major work plan and applied to school sites.

Superintendent Kim Seok-jun stated, “We have boldly reorganized educational policy projects with low satisfaction by reflecting the opinions of each department of the education office and school sites. This will not only reduce teachers’ workload but also greatly help normalize school operations in line with the COVID-19 era.”
