[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] On the 22nd, Park Wansu, Governor of Gyeongnam Province, visited the Gyeongnam Provincial Office Daycare Center dressed as Santa Claus.

Governor Park transformed into Santa Claus ahead of Christmas, distributing gifts to the children and watching a Christmas-themed performance together.

During the subsequent meeting, he listened to the difficulties faced by the staff and discussed improving working conditions and establishing a childcare foundation for the children.

Governor Park said, “Thanks to the childcare staff who have sincerely cared for our children, the employees were able to work diligently for the residents with peace of mind,” adding, “We will strive harder to create an organizational culture where work and family coexist and to make Gyeongnam a better place to raise children.”

The province plans to introduce a new project to reduce the childcare cost burden on residents by supporting entrance preparation fees and field trip expenses for 5-year-old children, as well as other necessary expenses. Additionally, the heavy workload allowance for daycare childcare staff will be increased from 50,000 won to 100,000 won per person.
