The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education received a great response as 1,145 teachers applied to participate in various policies aimed at enhancing the quality of secondary school classes for the 2023 academic year.

According to the Office of Education on the 25th, the ‘Secondary Class Quality Enhancement Policy’ includes the Subject Academy, Subject Research Groups, Curriculum·Instruction·Assessment Training Teams, and the Class Growth Certification System.

The passion of teachers who want to reflect on and share better teaching methods is expected to contribute to the spread of class quality enhancement.

These participants actively engage in research and sharing related to subject curriculum, instruction, and assessment.

Superintendent Lee Jeong-seon said, “Classes are the ‘core’ of education, and I thank the teachers who strive for student growth through changes in classroom instruction,” adding, “We will support teachers’ own research and practice for better classes and foster a culture of cooperation and sharing so that Gwangju education can soar.”
