Ulsan Office of Education Holds Briefing on Integration of Early Childhood Education and Care... Expanding Policy Consensus

Seminar Held for Daycare Teachers

Sharing Ideas on the Roles of Teachers and Education Offices

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Cheon Changsu) has begun efforts to build consensus on the integration of early childhood education and care ahead of the pilot project for the (tentatively named) Ulsan-style Early Childhood School, which is scheduled to be implemented in the second half of this year.

The Ulsan Office of Education held an informational session on the integration policy at the Ulsan Family Culture Center in Nam-gu over two days, June 26-27, with more than 510 local daycare center teachers in attendance.

This session was organized to enhance understanding of the Ulsan-style Early Childhood School, aiming to ensure the stable implementation of the integration policy and to encourage active participation.

The educational session was led by Professor Kim Daeuk of the Department of Early Childhood Education at Gyeongsang National University, who is a member of the Ministry of Education's "Child Happiness Field Teacher Group" and advisory panel. Professor Kim explained the current status of the Ministry of Education's integration policy and plans to reform the integrated teacher qualification system.

Following this, the Ulsan Office of Education conducted a "Thought Sharing" activity, where teachers and education office staff discussed their respective roles.

An official from the Ulsan Office of Education stated, "We will do our utmost to ensure the successful integration of early childhood education and care by actively expanding consensus on the policy."
