[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Superintendent Park Jong-hoon will once again run as a candidate for Superintendent of Education in Gyeongnam in the nationwide local elections this June.

On the 18th, Superintendent Park officially declared his challenge for a third term as Gyeongnam Superintendent of Education in front of the Gyeongnam Office of Education main building.

“I sincerely apologize for not keeping my promise to complete my term as a re-elected superintendent,” he said, “I am committed to fulfilling the educator’s mission to create an education system where students are happy and to build an advanced education country that reduces educational disparities.”

He proudly stated that over the past eight years, among all city and provincial offices of education nationwide, Gyeongnam was the first to establish a foundation for a future education system, and that the big data-AI based personalized student education platform, iTalkTalk, has been established in all schools.

He also emphasized that with the Gyeongnam Future Education Theme Park scheduled for completion this December and this year’s smart device distribution project, the completion of a personalized student education system is now within reach.

Superintendent Park Jong-hoon declared his candidacy for the June superintendent election and is answering reporters' questions.

Superintendent Park explained, “iTalkTalk is a system that analyzes the causes for students who learn at a slower pace and helps improve their academic performance,” adding, “Since COVID-19, not only basic academic skills but also university entrance exam results in Gyeongnam education have not fallen below the national average and have significantly improved compared to before my inauguration.”

He expressed his determination, saying, “During my 17th term as superintendent, I had to devote two years and six months to responding to the COVID-19 situation,” and “I have decided to run again to restore the disrupted daily education life and to stably complete the already initiated future education system.”

His pledges include ▲ being the first in Gyeongnam to prioritize personalized future education for students ▲ career and college entrance education that nurtures students’ individuality as life strength ▲ creating Mom-friendly schools by preventing school violence and providing clean restrooms ▲ comprehensive support from infants to out-of-school youth ▲ ushering in an era of unlimited responsibility in education ▲ ensuring an equal starting line without educational disparities ▲ and establishing a sustainable future and sustainable Gyeongnam from classrooms to communities.

According to the election camp, Superintendent Park registered as a preliminary candidate for Gyeongnam Superintendent of Education with the Gyeongnam Provincial Election Commission prior to the press conference on the same day.

Superintendent Park Jong-hoon said, “I will lead and complete the future education system that I personally conceived and started,” adding, “Every student’s entire growth process will be accumulated as data, and through artificial intelligence, the optimal learning and the best career and college entrance system will be completed.”
