Unnecessary and Routine Project Reorganization... Ulsan Office of Education Reduces Staff Workload

Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education reflected 102 out of 197 opinions (51.8%) submitted through this year’s ‘Voices from the School Field’ to improve unnecessary and conventional projects.

The Office of Education operated the Voices from the School Field program for staff from June 15 to September 15 to collect opinions on inefficient projects in order to reduce teachers’ workload. A total of 197 opinions were raised, of which 102 were incorporated into projects.

As a result, three mandatory reports such as those for various education week outcomes were abolished, and 99 improvements were made including simplifying the application and reporting methods for experiential learning, allowing autonomous operation of parent consultation weeks based on school conditions or member consultations, and producing drug prevention education materials applicable by grade level.

In addition to the abolished or improved projects, the Office of Education also informed all schools of 57 opinions that could not be reflected due to laws, regulations, or higher authority guidelines, as well as 38 opinions requiring long-term review.
