Damyang-gun Achieves Success in Re-designation as Lifelong Learning City in Ministry of Education Evaluation

Recognized for Lifelong Education Achievements Linked to Humanities... Maintains Designation as Lifelong Learning City for 3 Years

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 28th that it has achieved the results of re-designation in the ‘2022 Lifelong Learning City Re-designation Evaluation’ hosted by the Ministry of Education and the National Institute for Lifelong Education.

The Ministry of Education conducts re-designation evaluations for cities, counties, and districts that have been designated as lifelong learning cities for four full years.

This year, the performance from 2019 to 2021 was evaluated for 44 cities and counties nationwide.

With this re-designation, the county will be able to promote various projects as a lifelong learning city for the next three years.

Damyang-gun, designated as a lifelong learning city in 2014, has been striving to enhance lifelong education capabilities through local-based lifelong education by utilizing cultural resources such as humanities education and the traditional garden special zone of Damyang, including Eup-myeon Happy Learning Centers, lifelong learning clubs, and Damyang Humanities Literacy Classes.

In particular, it received high evaluations for resolving educational blind spots through specialized projects such as producing coloring books for adult literacy learners and for flexible program operation in response to the COVID-19 situation.

A county official said, “This re-designation is the fruit of efforts to revitalize lifelong learning despite difficult conditions due to COVID-19,” and added, “We will establish a performance management system including self-monitoring evaluations and continuously discover various programs to further increase learner satisfaction.”
