In particular, the specialist teachers will visit kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools across the province to guide character-friendly school culture and character education linked to the school curriculum, school-home linked character education, character education programs for elementary and secondary levels, and family character education.

They will also operate regional character education networks, provide consulting for schools running autonomous character education projects, and participate in character-centered lesson study groups.

Lee Ji-myeong, Director of the Life Character Education Division at the Office of Education, stated, "We will strive to create a character-centered school culture that resonates with and involves everyone in Gyeonggi character education policies through professional field support and communication."

Meanwhile, the Office of Education conducted training sessions for teachers at 184 schools last year and plans to expand these sessions to parents this year.
