Gyeonggi Office of Education Improves Personnel System Including Activation of Transfers Within Education Offices

Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education has prepared an improvement plan for the local government employee personnel system and is entering full-scale implementation.

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education is lowering the threshold for transfers to the headquarters and expanding considerations for pregnant, childbirth, and disabled public officials.

On the 25th, the Office announced that it has prepared and will begin full implementation of improvement measures for the local public official personnel system aimed at becoming the center of future education and new Gyeonggi education.

Since November last year, the Office has listened to about 1,900 opinions by rank and job series from schools, education support offices, and affiliated institutions through the Local Public Official Personnel System Improvement Council and analyzed the personnel system.

The analysis revealed that due to the personnel closure of the Office, school field workers had fewer opportunities to work at the Office, raising the opinion that circulation between the Office and schools should be activated.

Based on this, the council identified key personnel-related initiatives including ▲strengthening circulation work between schools and the Office ▲fair evaluation based on work performance and capabilities ▲expanding consideration for new, childbirth/childcare, and disabled public officials ▲expanding and reorganizing long-term education courses.

First, the Office will activate circulation work between institutions by abolishing the 5th-grade public official seniority limit applied when transferring to the headquarters and removing preferential treatment clauses for those with headquarters or education support office work experience among 6th-grade and below public officials.

In addition, when evaluating the work performance of school workers, quantified indicators and standards will be established, and additional data such as the conditions of their workplace, various school construction projects, and project performance will be provided to strengthen evaluations based on achievements and results.

Along with this, considerations for new, pregnant/childbirth, and disabled public officials will also be expanded. The aim is to create a work environment where public officials can work stably by balancing work and family life.

Specifically, these include ▲improving transfer regulations for the stable settlement of new public officials ▲a one-year exemption from external transfers for pregnant and childbirth public officials to avoid long-distance commuting ▲exemption from external transfers for public officials with three or more children until the third child graduates from elementary school.

In particular, to facilitate the smooth adaptation of disabled public officials to public service, support for the work environment will be expanded, including increasing additional quotas at schools where severely disabled public officials are assigned and providing various rehabilitation assistive technology devices.

These improvements to the local public official personnel system will be reflected in the "Regulations on Position Management of Local Public Officials under the Gyeonggi Provincial Superintendent of Education" and the "Guidelines for Handling Local Public Official Evaluation Work."

Ryu Young-shin, head of the Local Public Official Personnel Division at the Office, stated, "By activating circulation work between schools and the Office, we will invigorate the organization and refine the personnel system so that local public officials can demonstrate their abilities where they desire."
