Jeonnam Office of Education Holds Training to Strengthen Parent Association Executive Competence

The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 31st that it will conduct the '2025 School Parent Association Executive Capacity Building Training' in three regions: Suncheon, Hwasun, and Mokpo.

This training, which will run until the 3rd of next month, will be held separately in the eastern region (Suncheon Bay Ecological Culture Education Center), central region (Hwasun Hanioum Culture Sports Center), and western region (Mokpo International Football Center). About 1,200 parent association executives from schools in Jeonnam are expected to participate. The training is designed to help parent association executives better understand their roles, improve communication with their children, and broaden consensus on Jeonnam education policies.

In the eastern region training, Won Minwoo, director of the Child and Adolescent Development Center, gave a lecture on 'Communication Methods According to Temperament and Personality,' introducing customized communication strategies based on understanding children's temperament and personality.

In the central and western region training sessions, Kim Hangsim, director of the InSoul Growth Education Research Institute, will deliver a lecture titled 'Magical Communication Skills to Raise Great Leaders,' sharing positive communication techniques that enhance children's self-esteem and foster leadership.

In particular, the 'Time to Communicate with the Superintendent' session is expected to provide an opportunity to enhance understanding of education policies and build rapport with parents, featuring answers to pre-submitted questions, a Jeonnam education policy quiz, and on-site Q&A.

One parent who participated in the training shared, "As a first-time executive, I had many questions, but through this training, I was able to understand the role of the parent association and had a meaningful time communicating directly with Superintendent Kim Daejung about Jeonnam education policies."

Superintendent Kim Daejung stated, "Parents are both the main agents and strong partners of Jeonnam education," and urged, "Please join hands with schools and take a leading role in educational activities together."

The Provincial Office of Education plans to continue providing various training programs and policies to enhance the autonomy and accountability of parent associations, and will actively support parents so they can become a strong driving force for Jeonnam education.
