[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education will hold the ‘Jeonnam Education Community Student Human Rights Promotion Forum’ from the 23rd to the 24th at the Jeonnam Women and Family Foundation and Suncheon Culture and Health Center, with students, faculty, staff, and parents in attendance.

This forum was organized to raise awareness of student human rights within the Jeonnam education community and to share the current status of student human rights in Jeonnam, fostering a collective reflection on the importance of human rights.

Considering the spread of COVID-19, the forum will be held in two regions, East and West. On-site participation will be minimized and the event will be broadcast live on YouTube.

Professor Oh Dong-seok of Ajou University School of Law opened the forum with a keynote presentation titled ‘Directions and Challenges for Deepening Student Human Rights in Jeonnam.’

Panelists engaged in lively discussions on various topics including ▲student human rights and the rights of the education community ▲student human rights ordinances for a happy school community ▲issues with non-educational student human rights ordinances ▲school environments for guaranteeing student human rights ▲student human rights and teachers’ rights ▲and problems related to student life regulations.

Superintendent Jang Seok-woong stated, “We will accept differences as respect rather than discrimination and create a community culture where harmony and balance coexist. Moving forward, we will listen to the voices of human rights experts and frequently create opportunities to communicate with them.”
