The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 11th that it will establish and operate an 'Online Public Interest Reporting Center' on the Office of Education's website to promote public interest reporting by citizens.


The opening and operation of this online channel coincided with the revamp of the Office of Education's website. Any Gwangju citizen can easily report public interest violations related to the Office of Education's jurisdiction through the website's Civil Complaints and Administrative Plaza - Reporting Center - Corruption and Public Interest Reporting Center - Public Interest Reporting Center.

To enhance integrity through the activation of public interest reporting, the Office of Education enacted an ordinance in December last year to support public interest reporting and protect whistleblowers.


Since then, it has been receiving and handling public interest reports regarding ▲corrupt acts ▲public interest violations ▲improper solicitation and acceptance of money or valuables ▲violations of the Public Officials Conflict of Interest Prevention Act ▲violations by Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education officials. With the establishment and operation of this online channel, active participation from citizens in these matters is anticipated.



Superintendent Lee Jeong-seon stated, “I hope that the opening of this ‘Online Public Interest Reporting Center’ will serve as an opportunity to further enhance the integrity of Gwangju education,” and added, “Along with this, we will strengthen protective measures such as strict confidentiality and prohibition of disadvantageous treatment for whistleblowers, as well as thorough investigation and handling of reported cases.”
