'Excellence in Integrity'... Gyeonggi Office of Education Develops Comprehensive Implementation Plan

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education has established and is implementing a comprehensive plan to improve integrity.

On the 5th, the Office announced that it prepared this plan to leap forward as the "Most Integrity-Excellent Institution" this year, based on achieving the first and highest-ever "Grade 2" in the National Integrity Evaluation by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission last year.

Accordingly, based on the three major principles of Gyeonggi education?"Autonomy, Balance, Future"?the Office will pursue 20 tasks under three main strategies: ▲Creating a sustainable field-oriented integrity ecosystem ▲Strengthening anti-corruption systems and securing field effectiveness ▲Promoting participatory integrity practices based on communication and cooperation.

First, the Office plans to expand and reinforce policies that received high satisfaction from members in the previous year's integrity policies, and create conditions that allow members to actively promote integrity policies, reflecting new tasks to bring about substantial change.

Key details include introducing an "Integrity Mileage" system to support autonomous integrity efforts by education support offices, awarding commendations and institutional plaques. Additionally, the "Integrity Junior Board," a communication council with junior public officials, will be expanded by education support office as it was last year.

By collecting members' opinions, the Office will identify and improve unreasonable practices and bad customs, and spread a culture that fosters integrity by discovering and sharing good stories about superiors and colleagues through initiatives like "Papami (Pado Pado Midam)," which aims to eliminate corruption in the field.

In particular, the Office plans to establish a new comprehensive audit model focused on selection and concentration, moving beyond the previous approach centered on detecting misconduct and punishing offenders. The plan is to actively ensure the effectiveness of corruption control by linking integrity policies and audits to prevent recurrence of corrupt acts.

Lim Tae-hee, Superintendent of Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, emphasized integrity performed with autonomous ownership, saying, "If everyone approaches their duties as owners who develop and complete Gyeonggi education, not only will all become integrity public officials, but the culture of integrity will also spread further in the Gyeonggi education field."
