[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Concerns have been raised about the administrative gap in education due to the prolonged vacancy of the Vice Superintendent position at the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education.
On the 19th, Jo Ok-hyun, Chair of the Education Committee of the Jeonnam Provincial Council (Democratic Party·Mokpo 2), pointed out, “The prolonged vacancy of the Vice Superintendent at the Provincial Office of Education raises concerns about a gap in overall educational administration,” and called for the prompt appointment of the Vice Superintendent.
During the Education Committee meeting for the review of the Provincial Office of Education’s settlement, Chair Jo emphasized, “The Vice Superintendent holds an important position serving as a bridge between the Ministry of Education and other central government bodies and local education offices,” adding, “With the 2023 budget formulation and administrative audits approaching, the Vice Superintendent must be appointed promptly to ensure active communication with the council and to resolve any administrative gaps.”
He further stated, “There are concerns about whether the current government’s education policy, which aims to realize a demand-centered future-oriented education system through a comprehensive reform of the Ministry of Education that meets public expectations, can be vigorously promoted amid the vacancy of the Minister of Education position.”
