The main changes in the 2022 revised special education curriculum include ▲specifying the application target of the basic curriculum ▲establishment of daily living activities ▲expansion within 50% range among subjects (groups), creative experiential activities, and daily living activities.

At the briefing, Professor Choi Jin-hyeok of Pusan National University, the research and development director of 'daily living activities,' presented key points and guidance methods, and Professor Seo Hyo-jeong of Kongju National University, who authored the Ministry of Education's curriculum general theory commentary, gave an overall commentary and detailed lecture on the commentary.

Daily living activities is a life-centered curriculum developed in response to the difficulties of subject classes for students with moderate to severe multiple disabilities and the need for teaching life skills.

Through Q&A on the daily living activities guidebook and the Ministry of Education general theory commentary distributed in February, the briefing aimed to assist in designing the curriculum for special schools (classes) for the new semester.

On the 16th, a workshop on designing daily living activities will be held for 30 vice principals and elementary course teachers of special schools.

Focusing on the case of Daegu Semyung School, the plan is to directly design the daily living activities curriculum of our school and strengthen the curriculum operation capabilities of special schools through sharing among schools.

Earlier, on the 1st, the Jeonbuk Office of Education visited Nasaret Saekkeum School in Cheonan, Chungnam, with about 30 vice principals and curriculum heads of special schools to review curriculum operation cases for students with moderate to severe multiple disabilities.

Im Dae-seop, head of the Early Childhood and Elementary Special Education Division, said, "We will conduct training three times in February to support the operation of the 2022 revised special education curriculum," adding, "We will do our best for 'special education for all' so that any special education student can develop their abilities and potential."
