This integrity result is effectively the first evaluation of the integrity of the 4th directly elected Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education, and the difference from the 1st place Busan Office of Education is only 0.5 points.

The integrity perception evaluation period applied from July 2022, when Superintendent Kim Dae-jung took office, to June 2023, and the integrity effort was evaluated from November 2022 to September 2023.

A representative of the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education stated, “The integrity, which had remained in the lowest ranks nationwide with grades 3 to 4 over the past five years, has rapidly risen to grade 2. In particular, we have internally analyzed that the integrity effort category ranked 1st nationwide.”

He added, “We will not be satisfied with this result and will work even harder. We will do our best to maintain the top rank through system improvements and transparent administration.”

This comprehensive integrity assessment was conducted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission through professional research firms Korea Research and Global Research, using online surveys via email and smartphones from August to November.
