Im Tae-hee, Superintendent of Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, promised to actively reflect the opinions from the Neulbom School field and address the issues.

On the 5th, Superintendent Im Tae-hee visited Dongpae Elementary School located in Paju City and held a meeting with school staff, stating, "If Neulbom School is properly implemented in the field as it begins full-scale operation, it will be good for the children and also for the parents," emphasizing, "Neulbom School is a program that deserves to be recognized as a good program in the current era."

Superintendent Im Tae-hee continued, "I came to see whether the school is operating without burdening teachers with classes and without lowering the school's educational capacity," adding, "Please explain things as they are, and we will work to improve any issues. It is difficult to be perfect from the beginning."

The school staff attending the meeting conveyed difficulties in the field such as lack of space, program operation, and securing a pool of personnel.

Superintendent Im Tae-hee explained, "For the Neulbom policy to succeed, children must feel safe coming to the academies, and the quality of the programs must be good," adding, "If education provided is better than what academies offer, parents will feel reassured."

Regarding the issue of lack of space in particular, he stated, "If school space is insufficient, the Office of Education and the local community can cooperate to share local resources, and spaces outside the school can be utilized as part of school education programs," and added, "If the existing instructor fees are insufficient, we are also considering raising instructor fees."
