Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education Strengthens Customized Student Support in Collaboration with Local Communities

Kim Dae-jung Superintendent: "We Will Enhance the Competitiveness of 'Small Schools'"

Kim Dae-jung, the Superintendent of Education for Jeonnam Province, expressed his determination to enhance the competitiveness of Jeonnam's 'small schools' with fewer than 60 students.

According to the Jeonnam Office of Education on the 23rd, Superintendent Kim presented a plan at an on-site communication meeting held at Jangseong Seosam Elementary School to raise individual students' academic abilities through learning counseling and coaching in collaboration with local universities and specialized institutions, aiming to develop small but strong schools.

The plan intends to turn the characteristics of Jeonnam's small schools into an 'opportunity' by providing educational services that focus on supporting each individual student.

To this end, programs such as the Basic Academic Skills Dedicated Teacher System, Do Dream School Operation, Support for Students Learning at Their Own Pace, Use of AI Customized Online Content Linked with Families, Basic Academic Skills Intensive Grade System with Caring and Affectionate Classrooms, Learning Takeoff, and the Learning Ability Enhancement 3UP Education Program will be operated.

Learning counseling and coaching will be supported in collaboration with local specialized institutions such as the Comprehensive Learning Clinic Center, and online and offline tutoring with pre-service teachers from Jeonnam National University College of Education will be planned to strengthen the educational capacity of small schools.

To boost learning motivation, programs supporting learning, emotional, and psychological needs such as the Fun Growth Classroom, Confident Growth Classroom, and Parent-Child Nurturing Classroom will also be operated.

Superintendent Kim Dae-jung stated, “Half of the schools in Jeonnam have fewer than 60 students. We will strive to develop the small size not as a disadvantage but as a unique competitiveness of small schools so that high-quality education can be received regardless of the region in Jeonnam where one lives.”
