Gyeonggi Office of Education Strengthens Local Public Officials' Capacity Development... Doubles Frequency and Number of Participants in Long-Term Training

Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education is expanding the number of participants in long-term training programs and increasing the frequency and number of trainees up to twice as much to respond to the rapidly changing educational environment and to develop the capabilities of local government officials.

First, the Office of Education will increase the number of participants in the Ministry of Education's advanced management course from the current 5 to 7.

Lim Tae-hee, Superintendent of Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, previously judged that the number of training slots allocated by the Ministry of Education was insufficient compared to the scale of Gyeonggi's educational administration, and through continuous consultations with the Ministry, succeeded in expanding the allocation quota.

Additionally, the Office of Education will double the frequency and number of participants in the internally operated Grade 6 long-term training course from 40 participants once a year to 80 participants twice a year.

The Office of Education expects that the expansion of long-term training programs will help enhance the professionalism and capabilities of local government officials through diverse experiences and research, thereby improving future Gyeonggi education policy development and the ability to resolve current issues.

Superintendent Lim Tae-hee stated, "To respond to the rapidly changing educational environment, self-driven change and capability development are important," adding, "We will continue to make efforts to develop the capabilities of local government officials through various educational activities, including the expansion of long-term training programs."

Previously, the Office of Education dispatched local government officials at Grade 5 or higher to advanced management courses and graduate schools specializing in educational policy, which are entrusted by the Ministry of Education. Also, the Gyeonggi Yulgok Education Training Institute has independently established and operates a long-term training course for Grade 6 local government officials.
