According to the provincial office, these appointments were conducted separately from the regular personnel changes that take place in January and July. The main purpose was to quickly fill vacancies at frontline schools and institutions that have been experiencing operational difficulties due to staff taking leave or retiring.

In particular, to improve the low pay and working conditions of lower-ranking officials, the office has expanded promotion opportunities by conducting promotions from Grade 9 to Grade 8 every other month (January, March, May, July, September, and November). This is expected to help resolve personnel bottlenecks within the organization and boost morale.

The provincial office stated that it will continue to operate various personnel systems outside of regular appointments to address promotion bottlenecks and improve the treatment of lower-ranking staff. The goal is to enhance public trust in the civil service through balanced and rational personnel policies.

Noh Kwonyul, Director of Administration, said, "This round of appointments focused on boosting the morale of lower-ranking officials and creating an environment where they can fully demonstrate their abilities and concentrate on their work. We will continue to strive for a fair personnel system based on ability and performance to motivate our staff and foster a productive organizational culture."
