Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education will deploy 19 fixed-term social welfare officers for the first time to provide tailored support for students in educational welfare blind spots.

On the 25th, the Office announced that it will prioritize placing social welfare officers in 11 educational support offices and the provincial office where educational welfare specialists have not been assigned. Additionally, these officers will be deployed to six more educational support offices.

Fixed-term social welfare officers are educational welfare experts who hold a Level 1 social worker certification and have practical experience in related fields.

They will undertake various roles including ▲early identification of students in educational welfare blind spots ▲tailored integrated support for students through community cooperation ▲support for schools struggling to provide educational welfare services.

The Office plans to operate training sessions and councils to enhance the officers' field adaptation and project implementation capabilities.

Kim Young-hoon, Director of the Educational Welfare Division at the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, stated, "There are many students who are difficult to support with the school's efforts alone," adding, "We will strengthen the educational welfare safety net by deploying educational welfare specialists to all educational support offices to provide integrated and tailored educational welfare services to students from vulnerable groups."
