[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education ranked first among provincial-level education offices in the '2021 Original Document Information Disclosure Rate.'

According to Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education on the 9th, based on the analysis of the original document information disclosure rate by city and provincial education offices as of the end of October this year on the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's Information Disclosure Portal, Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education disclosed 2,108,778 documents (76.8%) out of 2,746,618 official documents produced from January to October this year, showing a higher disclosure rate than the city and provincial average of 61.4%.

This corresponds to second place among the 17 city and provincial education offices nationwide and first place among provincial-level education offices.

The original document information disclosure system allows public institutions to voluntarily disclose original official documents without a separate information disclosure request, according to the Act on Disclosure of Information by Public Agencies, playing an important role in providing transparent administrative services.

The Office of Education established the 'Jeonnam Education Administration Disclosure Principles,' analyzed public demand, expanded the number of pre-disclosed information items from 250 to 280, and disclosed them on the homepage. Along with education to improve voluntary awareness in the public service community, it established a monthly original document information inspection system to increase the original document information disclosure rate.

In addition, to eliminate departmental barriers, the scope of official document viewing was expanded to all employees to promote communicative administration.

Kim Do-jin, General Affairs Manager, said, "As a result of efforts to guarantee the public's right to know and provide broad Jeonnam education information, the original document information disclosure rate rose to the top tier," adding, "We will continue to expand the disclosure scope according to public demand."
