Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education is preparing to implement measures to reduce the workload related to the maintenance and management of school facilities.

The Office announced on the 18th that it established the "Function-Centered School Facility Task Promotion Plan" last July and plans to improve the maintenance and management of school facilities starting March 2024. From the 18th of this month, the Office will hold briefing sessions for school officials over five days at the Suwon Southern Office and Uijeongbu Northern Office.

This improvement plan focuses on restructuring the work system between schools and education support offices.

The main points include ▲ direct execution of small-scale environmental improvement projects (facility maintenance and repair) by education support offices ▲ focused inspections on schools without facility management staff ▲ expansion of schools eligible for school facility management support funds.

For the facility maintenance and repair part of the small-scale environmental improvement projects, education support offices will directly carry out the work to reduce the burden on schools. Additionally, schools without facility management staff will undergo focused inspections to efficiently support necessary projects at the schools.

Lee Miyong, Administrative Management Officer at the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, stated, "We will improve the maintenance and management tasks of school facilities to reduce the workload at school sites and support them to focus on educational activities," adding, "We will strengthen communication so that schools and education support offices can carry out their tasks efficiently."
