Busan Superintendent of Education By-election Candidate Cha Jeong-in Signs Policy Agreement with 'Busan Village Education Community Private Association'

"Promoting Cooperative and Sustainable Village Education,
Expanding the Educational Ecosystem"

Cha Jeong-in, a preliminary candidate (former president of Pusan National University) who has announced his candidacy for the Busan Metropolitan City Superintendent of Education by-election, signed an agreement on educational policy with the Busan Village Education Community Private Council on the 20th.

In January, Candidate Cha received proposals on village education policy through a meeting with the Private Council and accepted them. He had announced as his second pledge the “strengthening of democratic citizenship education and history education, and the expansion of the local education ecosystem.”

The concept of village education, where “the whole village raises one child,” aligns with Candidate Cha’s educational philosophy, which emphasizes “collaborative education” and “realizing a strong democratic society through the expansion of the local education ecosystem.”

This policy agreement between Candidate Cha and the Private Council reflects the determination that it is important to maintain partnerships with local communities that serve as a strong support system for schools to enhance Busan’s “educational capacity,” and that this must be supported through policy.

Candidate Cha and the Private Council signed the “Village Education Policy Agreement for the Transition of Busan Education from Competition to Cooperation” and agreed to work together to expand the local education ecosystem.

Established in 2018, the Busan Village Education Community Private Council is a coalition consisting of 73 village education communities engaged in educational activities in the region.
