Uiryeong Office of Education, Operation of '2023 Uiryeong Parent University'

Full of Passion for Learning! Filled with Love for Children!

The Gyeongnam Uiryeong Office of Education School Integrated Support Center is operating the ‘2023 Uiryeong Parent University’ with great enthusiasm from parents in the Uiryeong area, filled with passion for learning and love for children.

The ‘2023 Uiryeong Parent University’ opened on the 19th and will run courses until the 28th. Courses selected through preliminary surveys such as ‘2023 is Parent Talk’ have been established, and after receiving course applications, the program is divided into a Western Campus centered around Uiryeong-eup and an Eastern Campus centered around Burim-myeon.

The biggest feature of the ‘2023 Uiryeong Parent University’ is that it is operated by actively reflecting the opinions of the parents, who are the consumers. The four courses offered?Hanji Craft, Aroma Mini Class, Well-being Medicinal Tea, and Vegan Snacks?were selected based on the criterion of strengthening parental capabilities that can be directly applied to children’s education, through two rounds of parent demand surveys.

Also, reflecting regional characteristics, the Western Campus operates in the morning, while the Eastern Campus operates in the evening. Furthermore, overcoming the regional limitations of bringing in high-level instructors from outside, various courses were opened by actively utilizing local village teachers.

As a result of these efforts, nearly 100 parents have applied for courses over the two weeks of the ‘2023 Uiryeong Parent University’ and are actively participating in every session.

The Uiryeong Office of Education plans to continuously support the formation of local parent clubs centered around the parents who took the courses this time, so that deeper learning can be voluntarily achieved.

Choi Misook, the Superintendent of Education, said, “Parents’ interest and capabilities greatly influence student education,” and added, “We will actively support the strengthening of parental capabilities that reflect the demands and hopes of parents in the Uiryeong area who are sincere and passionate about their children’s education.”
