[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Candidates for the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam education superintendent positions, representing the centrist and conservative camps excluding the so-called ‘progressive/left-wing,’ have declared a policy alliance under the banner of educational normalization.


At the policy alliance declaration ceremony held on the 18th in the briefing room on the 3rd floor of the Busan City Council, Busan education superintendent candidate Ha Yeon-su, Ulsan education superintendent candidate Kim Ju-hong, and Gyeongnam education superintendent candidate Kim Sang-gwon attended. The three candidates gathered to announce the policy alliance declaration.


Gyeongnam education superintendent candidate Kim Sang-gwon stated, “Please support the three candidates for the bright future of children,” and added, “We will restore the broken education system through the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam education office policy alliance.”


Ulsan education superintendent candidate Kim Ju-hong said, “I entered the election because of the collapse of education where teachers who want to teach cannot teach, and students who want to learn cannot learn,” and added, “I will rebuild Ulsan’s education by promoting future-oriented education.”


Busan education superintendent candidate Ha Yeon-su said, “To restore the education system broken by left-wing progressive education, I will unite the education of Ulsan, Gyeongnam, and Busan as one,” and added, “I will ensure that future generations are not left-leaning but move forward correctly so that children become the owners of the future.”


The three candidates expressed their determination in the declaration, stating, “Progressive/left-wing education has been uniformly and biasedly operated, causing academic decline and downward leveling,” and “Through the policy alliance, we will restore the damage caused by the Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union (KTU) to normal.”



Each of the three candidates was selected as the representative candidate of the centrist and conservative camps through public opinion polls and is running as the education superintendent candidate in the three regions.
