Gyeonggi Superintendent of Education Lee Jae-jung Will Not Run for a Third Term

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-jeong, Superintendent of Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, announced that he will not run in the upcoming Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education Superintendent election scheduled for June.

At a press conference held on the 22nd, Superintendent Lee expressed his gratitude, saying, "I deeply thank the residents of Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi education family who entrusted me with the responsibility of Gyeonggi education in the two elections in 2014 and 2018. Although I was lacking in many ways, I was able to complete two terms relatively successfully thanks to your passionate support and active participation."

He continued, "There were strong demands to complete tasks such as Gyeonggi innovative education, various future education policies and visions currently underway, and the smart office innovation to be newly created at the Gyeonggi Office of Education Southern Office building scheduled for 2023, but I have judged that now is the time to step down," expressing his intention not to run for a third term.

Superintendent Lee especially stated, "I believe that now a new generation who deeply understands Gyeonggi education, has extensively researched education, has deeply managed educational administration, or has experienced education in the field should take over the responsibility rather than me," and asked the residents to "work together so that Gyeonggi education can steadfastly maintain innovative policies and open the future."

He added, "Until the end of my given term at the end of June, I will steadfastly carry out all educational tasks that must be performed as the Superintendent of Gyeonggi Province, including protecting students from Omicron."
