The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education will deploy fixed-term public officials for the first time nationwide among education offices to provide tailored support for students in areas densely populated by multicultural families.


On the 1st, the Office of Education announced that it will assign specialized personnel to the Ansan Education Support Office and Hwaseong-Osan Education Support Office to comprehensively support multicultural family students, parents, and schools, and to address difficulties in Korean language communication.


In particular, since there are many students from Russian-speaking regions such as Koryoin and Central Asia in Gyeonggi Province, active support will be provided for their school enrollment, school life, and parental support to facilitate their entry into public education.


The fixed-term public officials in multicultural dense areas will be responsible for tailored support for students and parents, including ▲ management of student records for multicultural family students ▲ interpretation support for school curricula ▲ translation of home-school communications ▲ training for multicultural family parents ▲ operation of bilingual education, among other tasks.


Lee Hyun-sook, Director of the Convergence Education Policy Division at the Office of Education, said, "As the number of multicultural family students rapidly increases, many face difficulties in Korean communication and are unable to enter public education," adding, "We take great pride in being the first education office nationwide to deploy multicultural education specialists in the public education field."



The Office of Education plans to expand various policies to support students from multicultural families.
