[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education has established an Education Cooperation Office within the Planning Department at Mokpo National University and has begun full-scale operations.

According to the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education on the 7th, the Education Cooperation Office was established to efficiently operate education cooperation projects linked between the provincial office and universities and to strengthen professional expertise. Four specialized personnel, including a senior secretary, a supervisor, and an administrative officer, have been assigned and operate as a separate team.

The Education Cooperation Officer serves as a focal point for education policies jointly promoted by universities and the education office. They build cooperative systems for the introduction of the high school credit system, operate career and college admission as well as science programs linked between elementary, middle, high schools, and universities, and promote various education cooperation projects to nurture local talent.

This year, the focus is on ▲ cooperative projects for the high school credit system such as opening joint education courses linked between high schools and universities (Dream Growth Campus), ▲ cooperation projects for recovery education in elementary, middle, and high schools including private tutoring by university students from education and teacher training colleges, and ▲ customized career and college admission programs for middle and high schools and local talent development cooperation projects.

Additionally, they plan to carry out various education cooperation projects such as ▲ cooperation projects to strengthen the capabilities of prospective teachers at colleges of education, ▲ support for remote education in rural and island areas of Jeonnam, and ▲ opening contracted departments between the education office and Mokpo National University to enhance staff capabilities.

Along with this, they plan to establish a permanent cooperation system with Education Cooperation Officers dispatched to Chonnam National University and Suncheon National University, develop joint education cooperation programs between the education office and universities, and systematically promote education cooperation tasks such as designating and operating regional base areas for each university.

Kim Hyun-cheol, Education Cooperation Officer at Mokpo National University for the Jeonnam Office of Education, said, “Due to the decline in the school-age population, not only are local universities facing a crisis, but the region is also confronting the risk of extinction. Only by local universities, the education office, and elementary, middle, and high schools coming together to pool their efforts to nurture talent and promote regional innovation can we prevent regional extinction.”
