"Proper Dokdo Education for Overseas Students" ... Jo Yong-jin, Gyeongbuk Provincial Assembly Member, Introduces Ordinance Bill as Representative

The Gyeongbuk Provincial Council member Jo Yong-jin (People Power Party·Gimcheon 3) has taken the lead in proposing the "Partial Amendment to the Ordinance on Strengthening Dokdo Education by the Gyeongsangbuk-do Office of Education."

The main points of the amendment include expanding the scope of education to include overseas students, establishing cooperative relationships to support overseas educational institutions, implementing Dokdo education support projects for overseas educational institutions, and introducing new consignment regulations.

Council member Jo of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Council explained the purpose, saying, "As a member of the Education Committee and vice-chairman of the Special Committee for the Protection of Dokdo, I contemplated how to better promote Dokdo to the world and effectively convey its value to future generations, which led me to consider amending the ordinance. Due to environmental conditions, students at overseas educational institutions may have weaker patriotism and historical perspectives toward their homeland compared to those educated domestically, and before they acquire incorrect information and values about Dokdo, I judged that proper education is necessary."

The specific methods that Council member Jo aims to pursue through the amendment include distributing teaching materials introducing Dokdo as part of Korean language and culture education provided to overseas Korean students at overseas educational institutions, as well as disseminating distinctive Dokdo education-related programs from the Gyeongbuk Office of Education.

The ordinance proposed by Council member Jo is scheduled to be implemented after review by the standing committee on the 19th and the plenary session on the 26th.
