Gwangju Office of Education: "We Do Not Give Up on a Single Child"

Preparation of Implementation Plan for Guaranteeing Basic Academic Skills

The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education has established this year's implementation plan for ensuring basic academic skills, aiming to "guarantee basic academic skills without giving up on a single child."

According to the Gwangju Office of Education on the 14th, the basic academic skills guarantee implementation plan was prepared to build a safety net for basic academic skills that supports integrated diagnosis and growth-oriented assistance for students.

Support for basic academic skills is structured through a multi-layered safety net that extends from 'within the classroom - within the school - outside the school.' Based on the positive evaluations of last year's basic academic skills support projects, further development is planned.

The plan also includes responsible guidance by homeroom (subject) teachers, customized guidance according to school levels, activation of integrated student growth support within schools, and strengthening the operation of Basic Academic Skills Support Centers within the Eastern and Western Education Support Offices.

In particular, the number of dedicated elementary school basic academic skills teachers, who received very high satisfaction from students, parents, and teachers, will be increased from 68 to 88 to establish a system of 'prevention-diagnosis-guidance-management' for basic academic skills.

Thirty elementary schools and five middle schools will be designated and operated as leading schools for guaranteeing basic academic skills, developing and operating multi-faceted and in-depth basic academic skills diagnosis, collaborative classes, and classes utilizing EduTech.

Programs such as pilot application of AI-based basic academic skills diagnostic programs, customized support for students requiring learning assistance, and responsible education academic support projects for 3rd grade elementary and 1st grade middle school students will also be conducted to ensure no child is left behind in basic academic skills guidance.

The Office of Education held a briefing session for all elementary school basic academic skills officers on the morning of the same day to provide guidance on these plans.

Following this, consulting was conducted to serve as a platform for sharing various opinions, including policy implementation cases and challenges by basic academic skills experts. Through this, schools will establish responsible guidance plans to guarantee basic academic skills and promote projects tailored to each school's situation and characteristics.

Teacher Jang Han-seong of Gyesu Elementary School, who attended the briefing, said, "Through the basic academic skills briefing and consulting, I learned what projects our school should focus on and promote. It was also good to have fellow teachers and consultants to discuss and share concerns with." He added, "I hope such communication platforms and guidance will continue well in the future."

Superintendent Lee Jeong-seon stated, "To improve basic academic skills and resolve educational deficits, the Office of Education, schools, and families are working together to establish a customized support system for students requiring learning assistance." He added, "We will continue to make greater efforts to support the guarantee of basic academic skills by establishing a system of prevention-diagnosis-guidance-management in school sites."
