Gwangju Superintendent of Education Lee Jeong-seon Hustles to Resolve Key Regional Issues

Discussion on Visit Issues with Each Responsible Person of the Ministry of Education

Lee Jeong-seon, Superintendent of Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education, is working tirelessly to resolve major educational issues.

According to the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education on the 6th, Superintendent Lee visited the Ministry of Education the day before to discuss key local educational issues, including ▲ teacher staffing and reassignment due to the decline in school-age population ▲ problems with the operation of the 4th generation NICE system and countermeasures ▲ and the application for the Gwangsan-gu Internationalized Education Zone.

To address teacher staffing and reassignment due to the decline in school-age population, Superintendent Lee visited the Office of Responsible Education Support and emphasized the need to resolve the surplus of elementary school teachers, expand basic academic skill teachers, and recruit teachers considering regional characteristics such as multicultural areas (Gwangsan-gu) and areas of population decline (Dong-gu).

He also reached a positive consensus on the recruitment of information technology teachers for future education, reconsideration of the reduction in elementary and secondary subject teacher quotas, new teacher hiring, and temporary contract teacher recruitment.

Next, he visited the Digital Education Planning Office to convey recent problems occurring in schools with the 4th generation NICE system and shared the operation case of the rapid response team run by the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education for prompt stabilization.

Finally, at the Office of Education Internationalization, he discussed the recent application by the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education for the Gwangsan-gu Internationalized Education Zone project, highlighting Gwangsan-gu’s strengths as an optimized area equipped with infrastructure and capabilities for nurturing global talents.

Superintendent Lee Jeong-seon stated, “If major local educational issues arise that are difficult to resolve independently, I will visit the relevant departments of the Ministry of Education directly at any time,” adding, “I will do my best to implement proactive administration to ensure that problems are resolved promptly through close consultation.”
