Jeonnam Superintendent of Education Kim Dae-jung Announces Position on 'Integrity in Jeonnam Education'
Former Jeonnam Superintendent of Education Kim Dae-jung recently issued a statement on the 14th pledging to realize “Integrity in Jeonnam Education” in response to issues raised regarding the selection of school supplies during the administrative audit by the Jeonnam Provincial Council’s Education Committee.
On this day, Superintendent Kim stated, “Integrity in administration is endless, and we will take one step further to achieve an administration that the education community understands and the residents recognize.”
He continued, “We will reorganize the scope and role of the ‘Supply Selection Committee’ to ensure fair contracts that reflect the voices of school members, actively gather opinions from the field, and reform the system to reflect those results in the selection of supplies.”
In particular, he promised, “To prevent corruption related to supply purchases, we will establish a ‘Clean Reporting Center’ to strongly respond to inappropriate business practices or the spread of false information by contractors.”
Additionally, he pledged, “After the purchase of supplies is completed, we will re-evaluate the feasibility of the projects through monitoring to examine the fairness of the contract process as well as the usability and effectiveness of the items.”
Separately from the statement, Superintendent Kim sent a letter to faculty and staff appealing for their cooperation in realizing integrity in Jeonnam education.
