Ulsan Office of Education to Recruit 'Parent Sharing Guardians' This Year

120 Parent Volunteers for Talent Donation to Be Recruited on a First-Come, First-Served Basis
Three Fields: Play Education, Reading Guidance, and Creative Board Games

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Cheon Chang-su) is operating the ‘2025 Parent Sharing Guardians’ program to activate parental participation in schools and support community educational talent donation.

The ‘Parent Sharing Guardians’ activity is a program where parents contribute their educational (talent) donations in school settings and local communities to foster students' creative thinking and proactive problem-solving skills. This parental participation project has been ongoing for eight years since its inception in 2017.

This year, from the 15th to the 22nd, parents who wish to participate in the ‘2025 Parent Sharing Guardians’ activities will be recruited on a first-come, first-served basis through the Ulsan Office of Education’s integrated reservation system.

The recruitment fields include three areas: play education, reading guidance, and creative board games, selecting 40 parents for each field, totaling 120 participants.

Parents will be granted the qualification to participate as Sharing Guardians after completing more than 22 hours of training, including basic education (4 hours) and in-depth training for each course (20 hours).

Afterward, a demand survey for talent donation will be conducted targeting schools and local children’s centers, and talent donation activities will take place from April to November.

Last year, 89 Parent Sharing Guardians practiced talent donation for a total of 756 hours at 108 schools and 7 local children’s centers.

A survey conducted among teachers who participated in the 2024 Parent Sharing Guardians program showed a satisfaction rate of 93.48% for the program’s operation, an increase of 1.28 percentage points compared to the previous year.

Satisfaction was highest regarding the instructors’ professionalism and their attitude toward students, and 93.5% of teachers expressed hope for the continuous operation of the Sharing Guardians program this year.

An official from the Ulsan Office of Education stated, “As a key project this year, we are promoting the strengthening of reading education, and we expect parents’ talent donations to be very helpful in guided reading with questions, creative play, and board game activities. We will expand support so that parents can participate healthily in school education.”

Detailed information about the recruitment for ‘Parent Sharing Guardians’ can be found on the Ulsan Office of Education website and each school’s website.
