Gyeongbuk Office of Education to Consolidate 10% of Various Committees... "Prioritizing Citizens in Organizational Management"

The Gyeongbuk Office of Education (Superintendent Lim Jong-sik) announced on the 16th that, in accordance with the current government's policy direction to solve problems so that the public can feel the changes and to enhance fairness and efficiency, it has consolidated and abolished 56 committees, which is 10% of the 564 committees under the Office of Education.

Committees are mainly operated in cases where careful decisions by administrative agencies are required in matters that have relatively significant impact on the public or in promoting major education-related policies and various agendas.

The 56 committees consolidated and abolished this time are the result of boldly adjusting committees whose functions are similar or overlapping with other committees or that unnecessarily reduce administrative promptness.

The committees targeted for consolidation and abolition include 13 abolished committees such as the Public Recruitment Principal Committee and the Compulsory Education Management Task Force, which are sufficiently handled through internal decision-making processes; 22 integrated committees such as the School Sports Team Leaders Management Committee and the School Sports Promotion Committee, which have similar functions; and 21 committees converted into ad hoc committees such as the School District Adjustment Committee and the Goods Selection Committee, which do not require permanent operation.

This adjustment goes beyond simply abolishing committees without a basis for establishment, by identifying committees with similar functions for consolidation and abolition, thereby reducing the workload and budget required for maintaining committees and focusing administrative efforts where needed. The goal is to simplify the decision-making process and simultaneously enhance the speed and expertise of policy implementation by actively utilizing existing committees.

Lim Jong-sik, Superintendent of Gyeongbuk Office of Education, stated, “We will diagnose and reorganize various organizations and committees annually as needed to pursue maximum efficiency according to the demands of the times, always prioritizing the public as the beneficiaries of education at the center, and manage the organizations and committees under the Gyeongbuk Office of Education accordingly.”
