[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Kim Dae-jung, a preliminary candidate for Jeonnam Superintendent of Education, officially entered the election race by registering his candidacy at the Jeollanam-do Election Commission at 9 a.m. on the 12th.

Candidate Kim Dae-jung stated, "I registered as the first candidate among local election candidates in the Jeonnam region to run for Jeonnam Superintendent of Education in order to save Jeonnam, which is in crisis, through a major transformation of Jeonnam education and to open a new future for our children."

Kim emphasized, "We are now living in an era of great transformation that changes moment by moment. While this era of great transformation has positive aspects, it also presents serious crises," adding, "With the full-scale advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution, it is said that 60% of current jobs will disappear. This means the future of our children is becoming uncertain, so we must prepare quickly."

He continued, "The 17 counties of Jeonnam are classified as the most vulnerable to extinction," and added, "The only way to survive the uncertain future of our children and regional extinction is education, and Jeonnam must be revitalized through a major transformation of Jeonnam education."

He further stated, "In this crisis, Jeonnam education shows shameful behavior such as ranking last in CSAT scores and the lowest ever in integrity," and declared, "I, Kim Dae-jung, who have experience in politics, administration, and education, will revive Jeonnam through a major transformation of Jeonnam education."
