[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education will operate the ‘Voices from the School Field’ from the 13th until July 1st to improve unnecessary and conventional policies in schools.

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education has been operating ‘Voices from the Field’ for all school staff since 2018 to create an environment where all school members can focus on student education.

Until last year, the Office of Education collected opinions on unnecessary and conventional policies in schools through the operation of ‘Voices from the Field’.

Based on the collected opinions, after consultations by department and institution, a total of 243 cases were revised, including 40 policy abolitions, 12 reductions, and 191 improvements, and these were notified to the Office of Education, support offices, affiliated institutions, and all schools in the jurisdiction.

The policies abolished through ‘Voices from the School Field’ include 40 cases such as autonomous and result reporting of various education week operations, simplification of school education plan tasks, English camps during vacations, and mandatory participation in class consulting.

The reduced policies include 12 cases such as reduction and improvement of support teams by the Office of Education and affiliated institutions, minimization of audit submission materials, and reduction of submission documents for school sports club competition subsidies.

The improved policies include 191 cases such as ‘all promotional, guidance, and survey home communications are collectively uploaded on the school integrated homepage at the Office of Education level,’ ‘improvement of delegated decision-making regulations,’ and ‘improvement of student-centered class operation methods.’

The Office of Education plans to actively accept school field opinions on unnecessary policies through the operation of ‘Voices from the School Field’ to provide practical help in reducing administrative work for school staff. It also plans to continuously strive to create an environment where all school members can focus on student education.

An official from the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education said, “We will organize formal and inefficient school-linked Office of Education projects through ‘Voices from the School Field’ and continue to improve tasks,” adding, “All departments and institutions will work together to create a ‘school-like school centered on educational activities’ by creating an environment where all school members can focus on student education.”
