Busan Office of Education Appoints Judge Chun Jongho as Ambassador for Educational Hope Promotion

Supporting Out-of-School Youth with Alternative and Character Education

Lectures for Students and Parents, Policy Promotion and Campaigns

Chief Judge Chun Jongho of the Busan District Court, known as the "scolding judge," has decided to support the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education in character education and support for out-of-school youth.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Ha Yoonsoo) will hold an appointment ceremony at 2 p.m. on the 28th in the main conference room and officially appoint Chief Judge Chun Jongho as the "Education Hope Ambassador."

Judge Chun Jongho is well known for his long service in juvenile court, where he not only sternly admonishes offenders to help them realize their wrongdoings, but also rehabilitates juvenile delinquents through understanding and warm encouragement regarding their circumstances.

Judge Chun is also deeply devoted to out-of-school youth, leading the establishment and support of youth recovery centers, and is often called the "father of troubled youth."

He is a legal professional who graduated from elementary, middle, and high schools in Busan, and has a deep understanding of the educational environment and circumstances in Busan.

Taking these factors into consideration, the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education determined that Judge Chun Jongho is the most suitable person to maximize the values pursued in "support for out-of-school youth," "alternative education," and "character education," and proposed the ambassador role to him.

Following the appointment ceremony, Judge Chun Jongho will begin his activities as an ambassador with a lecture for all staff of the Office of Education on the topic "About the Juveniles I Have Met." Going forward, Judge Chun plans to give lectures for out-of-school youth and their parents, promote policies and campaigns related to education hope, and actively serve as an ambassador.

Ha Yoonsoo, Superintendent of the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, said, "I sincerely thank Judge Chun Jongho for willingly accepting the role of Education Hope Ambassador," and added, "I hope he will be a great support to our Office of Education as we strive to help all students in Busan, including out-of-school youth, grow into members of society with sound character."
