Voluntary Formation by Teachers and Education Office Staff

The Gyeongbuk Office of Education supports 57 provincial-level subject education research groups to promote voluntary research activities and enhance educational capabilities among teachers, and from July, these groups will voluntarily conduct training sessions for the first half of the year.

The 'Subject Education Research Groups' supported by the Gyeongbuk Office of Education are teacher learning communities autonomously organized by teachers and educational professionals from kindergartens, elementary, middle, high, and special schools, practicing subject research. They lead the implementation of future education in Gyeongbuk through communication and field research.

The 57 subject education research groups focus on activating student-led classes and strengthening professional competencies in subject and creative experiential activity guidance, according to each group's basic and distinctive tasks.
