The Chungnam Provincial Office of Education announced on June 20 that it conducted a remote "Training Program to Strengthen the Capabilities of Personnel in Charge of Handling Sexual Harassment and Sexual Violence Cases" for staff responsible for case processing at city and county education support offices and schools.

The training covered a range of topics, including a victim-centered support perspective, prevention of secondary harm, and the role of administrators.

In particular, the program focused on practical application by providing case-based lectures and education, analysis of real cases, discussions, and hands-on exercises, all based on a comprehensive understanding of the structure and context in which sexual harassment and sexual violence incidents occur in schools at various levels. This approach enhanced the ability of personnel to apply what they learned in the field.

The training included practical lectures and hands-on exercises on topics such as: ▲basic understanding of sexual harassment, sexual violence, and gender sensitivity; ▲the unique characteristics of cases among school members; and ▲response procedures according to the type and target of each case.

Superintendent Kim Jicheol stated, "Through this capacity-building training, I hope that the ability of personnel to handle sexual harassment and sexual violence cases will be further strengthened, enabling faster and fairer responses in schools."
