[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education will operate the ‘2022 New School Year Intensive Preparation Period’ at 1,318 kindergartens, elementary, middle, high, special, and various schools across the province from the 8th to the 28th.

During the New School Year Intensive Preparation Period, each school will establish plans for operating the new school year’s school (class) curriculum based on sharing the school’s educational philosophy and vision, with the participation of all faculty and staff.

Additionally, various activities will take place, including school space exploration for the quick adaptation of transferred faculty, operation of professional learning communities for curriculum development, management and communication of student records for learning support, sharing of counseling materials, and organizing village curricula in cooperation with the local community.

In preparation for the shift to remote classes due to the spread of COVID-19, the New School Year Intensive Preparation Period encourages at least three hours of training on online-offline linked classes, use of platforms based on Jeonnam Meta School and Naver Whale Space, AI education, and metaverse-based education.

The Office of Education plans to implement the ‘March 1, 2022 teacher personnel appointments’ in the first week of February to ensure the smooth operation of this year’s New School Year Intensive Preparation Period.

Previously, in November last year, an excellent casebook of the New School Year Intensive Preparation Period was published and distributed to all schools in the province, and in December, the operation plan for the 2022 New School Year Intensive Preparation Period was announced.

Yoon Young-seop, Director of the Elementary Education Division, said, “Since the COVID-19 situation is not expected to end easily this year either, we hope that through the operation of this New School Year Intensive Preparation Period, children’s health will be protected and effective measures for normal curriculum operation will be established.”
