[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] On the 8th, the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education held a roundtable discussion under the slogan "Today and Tomorrow of Ulsan Innovative Education" in the Oesol Meeting Room of the Education Office.

About 90 education stakeholders, including students, parents, teachers, and citizens, participated in the discussion.

The roundtable discussion was held to have students, parents, faculty, and citizens participate in diagnosing the achievements and areas for improvement of school innovation and the ‘Seorona-num School,’ and to establish the vision and direction for promoting Ulsan Innovative School 2.0.

Participants were pre-registered through the Education Office and each school's website, with about 90 attendees including 15 students, 41 parents and citizens, 22 faculty members, and 15 education officials.

The discussion provided information on the topics in advance through a metaverse platform to enhance participants' understanding.

The roundtable was conducted with common themes and table-specific topics to mark the end of the first term of the 2019 designated Seorona-num School.

As a common theme, time was spent sharing opinions centered on keywords that come to mind when thinking of ‘school innovation’ and ‘Seorona-num School.’

Each table actively discussed topics such as ▲What is the future school we hope for? ▲What should be improved for the sustainable growth of Seorona-num School? ▲How to spread the innovative culture of Seorona-num School to general schools? ▲Recent changes in school culture and educational activities and their reasons? ▲Support and measures needed to spread the culture of school innovation?

An official from the Education Office said, “We were able to reflect on the achievements of Seorona-num School over the past three years, contemplate the current state of innovative education, and form a consensus while considering development directions together. We hope that the culture of school innovation can spread through discussions involving the entire educational community.”

Following the roundtable, the Ulsan Office of Education plans to hold the 2nd School Innovation Consensus Roundtable on the 23rd to conduct in-depth thematic discussions with the educational community on Ulsan Innovative School 2.0 and establish future policy directions.
