Busan Office of Education Gathers Scattered Character Education Information in One Place

Busan Metropolitan Office of Education will officially operate the ‘Character Education Integrated Platform,’ which gathers information in one place to present a systematic policy direction and maintain policies for character education.

On the 11th, Busan Metropolitan Office of Education announced that starting from the 20th, it will provide the ‘Character Education Integrated Platform’ app service, allowing anyone to easily access character education-related information anytime and anywhere.

The development of this platform aims to provide integrated and continuous character education services by collecting previously scattered character education-related information in one place.

Since April, Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has been developing the platform with a T/F team and contracted companies, completing a pilot operation at the end of September. The platform is scheduled to officially provide services from the third week of October.

The platform was developed to optimize the user environment according to various devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs and browser sizes, and consists of content categories including ▲Seonsaengnimpum (Teacher’s Section), ▲Bumonimpum (Parents’ Section), ▲Chingupum (Friends’ Section), and ▲Experiential Learning.

Users can access Seonsaengnimpum, Bumonimpum, or Chingupum depending on the identity type designated during membership registration. Busan Metropolitan Office of Education configured an optimal system for each user by reflecting opinions proposed through surveys conducted last year as much as possible.

The content includes ▲in Seonsaengnimpum: Work Help Room, Character Education Special Projects by Support Offices, Experiential Learning, and Character Education Materials; ▲in Bumonimpum: Parent Training & Application, Experiential Learning, and Counseling Application Guide; ▲in Chingupum: Things to See, Things to Do, and Experiential Learning.

Additionally, the platform is linked with the Office of Education, Integrated Reservation Portal, and related institution websites, enabling real-time access to character education-related information. Users can also set personal menus focused on their areas of interest and check necessary information by date through a day-of-the-week confirmation feature.

To ensure users do not miss applying for programs of interest, detailed PUSH (notification) functions such as a ‘Storage Box’ have been implemented.

Ha Yoon-su, Superintendent of Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, stated, “The integrated platform will play a significant role in building an integrated and systematic character education infrastructure by unifying character education policy introductions and training applications. Moving forward, our office will actively utilize this platform to maximize the effectiveness of character education.”
