Kim Dong-hwan, Preliminary Candidate for Jeonnam Superintendent of Education

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Kim Dong-hwan, a preliminary candidate for Jeonnam Superintendent of Education, announced on the 3rd his pledge to "abolish the rotation personnel system and gradually introduce the desired living area work system."

On this day, candidate Kim Dong-hwan said, "I will abolish the rotation personnel system that forces transfers after working for 8 or 10 years in each city or county," and added, "By improving the problems caused by the current rotation personnel system, we will revitalize school education by allowing continuous work in the desired region."

He continued, "The current forced transfer rotation personnel system excessively restricts the freedom of teaching staff and was a policy established over 30 years ago," and emphasized, "Transportation and population distribution in Jeonnam have changed drastically compared to the past. The outdated personnel system must be improved."

He also stated, "Expanding local-level teacher appointments to increase hiring of teaching staff in rural and island areas, as well as prioritizing recruitment of local-origin teaching staff, can be a solution to problems arising from abolishing forced transfers," and added, "I will propose alternatives such as utilizing closed schools to create residential centers for teaching staff, students, and local residents so that teaching staff can live in rural areas."
