Strengthening Educational Capacity of Small Schools: AI and Big Data Platform Development Announced

Kim Dae-jung, the Superintendent of Education for Jeonnam, expressed support for President Yoon Seok-yeol and the Ministry of Education's policy to exclude 'killer questions' from the CSAT exam.

At a press conference held at the education office on the 4th to mark his first anniversary in office, Superintendent Kim said, "I support President Yoon's policy to exclude killer questions as it could benefit Jeonnam's college admissions," adding, "Although I believe the CSAT should be abolished, we need to observe the situation. I am discussing this issue with other provincial superintendents and preparing countermeasures."

He continued, "According to objective figures, the academic performance of Jeonnam students is below expectations," and added, "While I oppose the expansion of regular admissions, we have established a Career and Academic Guidance Center to prepare countermeasures and are doing our best to improve students' grades."

He emphasized that the Jeonnam Student Education Allowance, a key campaign pledge, is expected to be provided as early as the second half of this year or by early next year at the latest.

He also stated, "Preparations for the student education allowance payment have been completed and the budget has already been secured," adding, "However, consultations with the Ministry of Health and Welfare regarding the establishment of social security services are ongoing, so only the final decision remains," and "The practical steps have been completed, and we are planning to submit the payment ordinance to the Jeonnam Provincial Council."

To foster small schools, he proposed ▲ education to cultivate students' critical thinking ▲ personalized education tailored to individual students ▲ strengthening the educational capacity of small schools ▲ enhancing global education ▲ expanding student-participatory symbiotic education.

He plans to build the Jeonnam Education AI and Big Data platform for personalized education, which will collect learning data for each student to support connections from student career paths to employment.

Superintendent Kim stated, "To promote the direction and pioneering model of future education, we plan to hold the Korea Glocal Future Education Expo with the Ministry of Education in May next year," adding, "We will establish a foundation for Jeonnam education to lead education in Korea."
