Jeonnam Provincial Assembly Member Park Hyeong-dae Intensively Questions 'School Electronic Display Vendor Selection'

Park Hyung-dae, a Jeonnam Provincial Assembly member (Progressive Party·Jangheung 1), focused on questioning issues related to the selection of companies for installing school electronic display boards during the administrative audit at the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education headquarters on the 14th.

On that day, Assemblyman Park criticized unnecessary supply, stating, “There are many problems with company selection. There are numerous cases of double installations of electronic display boards installed at frontline schools, and a specific company is monopolizing the market.”

At the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education administrative audit, Superintendent Kim Dae-jung is responding to questions from Provincial Assembly member Park Hyung-dae.

Assemblyman Park pointed out, “When schools purchase goods, the selection of goods goes through a minimum of five procedures, including meetings of the goods selection committee, the school principal, and the education support office,” adding, “However, even the verification process was not properly conducted during that process.”

He continued, “In particular, the electronic display board project proceeded based on false and forced demand, resulting in a monopoly by company T,” and raised his voice, saying, “Upon reviewing the materials submitted by the goods selection committee, there were many cases where reporting items were not specified or omitted even in the administrative audit materials.”

He further stated, “The issue of false demand should not be blamed solely on the goods selection committee; the Provincial Office of Education must prepare countermeasures,” and insisted, “All problems related to goods selection must be thoroughly investigated, those responsible held accountable, and the system reformed.”

In response, Superintendent Kim Dae-jung said, “The goods selection committee includes members from teacher organizations and parents who raised the issues,” and added, “We will inspect and verify the committee’s goods selection, and if problems are found, we will improve them.”

He also added, “Discussions should be held so that the goods selection committee can make rational choices. In the future, the education office will intervene if necessary to ensure the committee functions effectively, then review the regions and improve the system.”
