[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] The Gyeongbuk Office of Education supports ‘Autonomous Character Education Programs’ at the class and club levels to help students cultivate character competencies such as respecting and caring for others, collaborating, and communicating, in line with the full return to normal school attendance and daily educational activities.

Due to restrictions on face-to-face education during school activities, interactions between students and between students and teachers have decreased, resulting in a lack of social skills among students and fewer opportunities to develop core character values and virtues such as etiquette (Ye), filial piety (Hyo), honesty, and responsibility.

Accordingly, the Office of Education is intensively supporting customized character education programs such as ‘Uri Modu Da Hamkke (All of Us Together),’ which fosters students’ social skills and cultivates eight core character values and virtues through integrated character education tailored to the characteristics of school members throughout educational activities, as well as character education leading classes and other related programs.

The customized character education program ‘Uri Modu Da Hamkke’ provides opportunities for interaction among students and between students and teachers through peer activities, play activities, teacher-student companionship activities, and experiential activities, helping to develop students’ social skills.

It supports 1,619 teams in elementary, middle, high, and special schools across the province with 1,060,800,000 KRW, conducting peer mentoring, small group activities for building friendships, counseling and volunteer activities, and experiential activities inside and outside school during regular curriculum and weekends.

Character education leading classes are programs that implement character education centered on the eight character values and virtues?etiquette (Ye), filial piety (Hyo), honesty, responsibility, respect, care, communication, and cooperation?linked with the curriculum according to the characteristics of individual classes.

In addition, the Gyeongbuk Office of Education supports the operation of character education-centered school curricula such as 109 ‘Character Education Focus Schools’ that run experiential and practice-centered curricula, 220 schools participating in the ‘Challenge! Achievement Program’ where students challenge self-set goals, and 24 ‘Future-Oriented Seonbi Cultivation Schools’ that learn local traditional culture and the Seonbi spirit.

Lee Yang-gyun, Director of the Elementary and Secondary Education Division, said, “Character education shows its effects when programs that help develop good habits and behaviors in various human relationships such as family, peers, and teachers are continuously operated,” adding, “We will continue to strive to ensure that character education is implemented in all educational activities at schools.”
