[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education is recruiting 406 kindergarten, elementary, and special education teachers.

On the 14th, the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education announced the “2023 Academic Year Busan Metropolitan City Public (Private) Kindergarten, Elementary, and Special School (Kindergarten and Elementary) Teacher Appointment Candidate Selection Competitive Examination Implementation Plan,” selecting 406 teachers for public and private kindergartens, elementary schools, and special schools.

The number of public school recruits reflects the replenishment of vacancies due to teacher retirement and honorary retirement, as well as changes in the number of kindergarten, special education, and elementary teachers, and is the same as the number preliminarily announced in July.

The number of recruits by category is 25 kindergarten teachers (23 general, 2 disabled), 350 elementary school teachers (324 general, 26 disabled), 11 special school kindergarten teachers (9 general, 2 disabled), and 16 special school elementary teachers (14 general, 2 disabled).

The number of private school recruits is a total of 4: 1 elementary school teacher, 2 special school elementary teachers, and 1 special school kindergarten teacher, all entrusted by three private school corporations.

For this exam, three private school corporations entrusted the appointment exam to the Metropolitan Office of Education. Among them, one corporation applied for the “public and private simultaneous application system,” allowing candidates who applied for the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education public special school kindergarten teacher (first choice) and wish to do so to also apply to the private school corporation as their second choice.

The exam schedule is as follows: ▲ Online application until October 3, weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ▲ First exam on November 12 ▲ Announcement of first exam passers on December 12 at 10 a.m. (scheduled) ▲ Second exam from January 4 to 6, 2023 ▲ Final pass announcement on January 27, 2023, at 10 a.m. (scheduled).

This appointment exam conducts a teaching essay and curriculum in the first exam, and an in-depth interview, lesson plan writing, and teaching demonstration in the second exam. Elementary school teachers will additionally take an English teaching demonstration and English interview.

Successful candidates in the first public exam will be selected at 1.5 times the planned number of recruits by category, and the final successful candidates will be determined by combining the scores of the first and second exams.

For examinees diagnosed with COVID-19, prior applications will be accepted, and arrangements are being made to allow them to take the exam at separate testing sites in consultation with local health centers and quarantine authorities.

Detailed information can be found on the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education website.

The implementation plan for next year’s secondary teacher appointment exam is scheduled to be announced on October 5. The first exam for the secondary appointment will be held on November 26.
