Starting their activities in July, the 5th Term Honorary Auditors for Facility Construction are expected to significantly improve the completeness of educational facilities by visiting construction sites and conducting routine audits in their specialized fields (architecture, civil engineering, machinery, electricity, information and communication, fire protection) over their two-year term, thereby strengthening the function of preventive audits.

Since their implementation in July 2015, the honorary auditors for facility construction have established themselves as a representative resident audit system of the Gyeongbuk Office of Education by conducting routine audits on 73 major facility construction projects, including the construction of the new Gyeongbuk Office of Education building, providing 1,005 opinions, and devising solutions.

Lim Jong-sik, Superintendent of Education for Gyeongbuk, stated, “Based on the rich and diverse field experience and expertise of external experts, we expect that on-site, close-contact routine audits will elevate the quality of educational facilities to a higher level and greatly contribute to realizing a ‘Warm Gyeongbuk Education’ that satisfies all members of the educational community.”
