The Chungnam Office of Education operated the "Gender Equality and Sex Education Class Capacity-Building Workshop for Growth Through Knowledge" at the Korea Cultural Training Institute in Gongju for two days, starting on July 28, to strengthen the expertise of gender equality and sex education classes.

According to the provincial office of education on July 29, this training was conducted as an overnight program for members of the Chungnam Gender Equality and Sex Education Research Association and lead teachers. The program included a variety of sex education class case studies, theoretical lectures, and experiential programs, all designed to substantially enhance educational competency.

The training consisted of sex education classes focused on discussion and debate, case studies of sex education for special education students, and expert lectures on brain, emotional, and sexual development in adolescents and teenagers.

In addition, there were presentations of experiential sex education case studies and exhibitions of educational materials, which were autonomously organized to increase practical applicability in the field.

Furthermore, under the theme "Media Literacy and Sex Education," the program focused on fostering critical thinking skills and response strategies regarding harmful media and advertisements to which adolescents are indiscriminately exposed.

Kwon Seontak, Director of the Department of Democratic Citizenship Education, stated, "I hope this training serves as an opportunity to present the direction of gender equality and sex education in line with the trends of the times, and that it will greatly help students grow into democratic citizens with gender sensitivity and critical thinking skills."
