Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Trainee Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education has taken decisive action to eradicate corruption in the hiring of private school staff.

For the first time nationwide, the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education has decided to dispatch public interest review committee members recommended by the education office to root out personnel corruption in the hiring of private school administrative staff.

The public interest review committee system requires that at least one-third of the review process, from document screening to the final interview for new private school administrative staff hires, be conducted by public interest review committee members recommended by the education office.

To enhance fairness and transparency in the hiring process, applicants’ special relations are excluded from serving as review committee members.

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education will dispatch public interest review committee members starting with new hires from January 1 of next year.

Hiring announcements for administrative staff will be posted at least two weeks before the application period begins, making it easier to view and apply through the education office and school websites, among at least four platforms.

Taeyeon School announced a new administrative staff hiring on October 21, and will accept applications for one week starting November 11 at Taeyeon School.

In 2022, private schools under the Ulsan Office of Education plan to hire seven administrative staff, including general administration level 9, across five private schools. Detailed information will be announced on the education office website.

An official from the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education stated, “We will secure fairness and increase transparency in the hiring of private school administrative staff.”
