Superintendent Taehee Lim Stresses Need for Training Swift Discussion Structures in Unforeseen Wartime Situations

On August 18, Gyeonggi Provincial Superintendent of Education Taehee Lim emphasized in relation to the "2025 Eulji Exercise" that "a discussion structure capable of making swift decisions even in unforeseen wartime situations must be trained."

Superintendent Lim made these remarks while attending the "2025 Eulji Exercise Initial Situation Briefing" held that morning at the Exhibition Comprehensive Situation Room of the Suwon Gwanggyo Southern Government Complex.

The initial situation briefing for the Eulji Exercise was attended by Superintendent Lim, First Deputy Superintendent Kim Jinsu, and directors and section chiefs of the Southern Government Complex. In addition, the Second Deputy Superintendent and directors and section chiefs of the Northern Government Complex participated via video conferencing system.

This Eulji Exercise simulated wartime scenarios similar to real situations, and proceeded with blackout and water outage drills in the Exhibition Comprehensive Situation Room, followed by gas mask training. For the first time this year, a drill was also introduced in which the control team collaborated with artificial intelligence (AI) to assign messages for scenario development.

After receiving the initial situation briefing, Superintendent Lim stated, "The smart work system currently implemented by the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education may not function effectively in emergency situations," adding, "It is necessary to shift to a face-to-face structure to enable rapid discussion and decision-making."

He further emphasized, "In emergency situations, a significant portion of decision-making may be delegated," and said, "This should be a time to examine how to address aspects that need to be changed immediately on site, and how to handle matters that differ from normal circumstances."

He particularly urged, "I hope that the four-day Eulji Exercise will serve as an educational training opportunity where participants can learn," and added, "It should be a drill to gain a sense of real-life situations and to identify areas for improvement through this process."

Meanwhile, the Provincial Office of Education will conduct the "2025 Eulji Exercise" with 24-hour emergency operations until August 21. This Eulji Exercise involves participation from the main office, affiliated institutions, and approximately 5,900 staff members from 25 education support offices.
