The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education is significantly revamping the implementation method of its integrity policy, the ‘1 Institution·Department 1 Practice Project,’ to actively engage in integrity activities.


First launched in 2013, this project has aimed to make integrity activities a part of daily life for all employees by conducting integrity campaigns annually by institution and department. Until last year, institutions and departments autonomously selected practice tasks and carried out activities once a year, but this year, the integrity campaigns have been expanded to once a month.


Institutions and departments will select themes such as proactive administration, prevention of power abuse, and conflict of interest prevention to conduct monthly integrity activities focused on improving corruption awareness.


Feedback on best practices will also be expanded from once a year to once a month and shared at monthly meetings presided over by the Superintendent, serving as opportunities for employee integrity education. Additionally, the results of these activities will be reflected in the year-end performance evaluations of departments and institutions.

This year, for the first time, the MZ generation representative council, the ‘Cheongbaekri Supporters,’ will participate in project evaluations to assess the effectiveness of the integrity policy from the sincere perspective of the younger generation.


The Office of Education plans to introduce a new evaluation criterion, ‘employee participation rate,’ to increase the participation of all employees in integrity activities and enhance the policy’s effectiveness.



Ha Yun-su, Superintendent of Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, stated, “We are expanding the ‘1 Institution·Department 1 Practice Project’ this year to strengthen the integrity responsibility of all employees. We will strive to ensure that every member of the Busan education family actively engages in integrity activities to serve as a role model for our growing children.”
