The 'Gyeonggi Teacher Internship Program' was conducted for six months starting in March for 89 candidates who passed the 2025 elementary school teacher recruitment exam. The intern teachers gained experience in various educational activities such as teaching, student guidance, and administrative work at schools under lead teachers, thereby building their capacity to adapt to the teaching profession.

In particular, with the support of lead and experienced teachers, they participated in practical educational activities including multi-grade and multi-subject integrated classes, assistant or co-teacher roles, class observations, independent teaching, student guidance, and administrative tasks.

About 150 people attended the event to share the program’s outcomes and vision, including Superintendent Taehee Lim, lead teachers, mentor teachers, and intern teachers.

The discussion session with Superintendent Lim was held under themes such as "The Fruits of Hard Work, Shining Steps," "The Path of Teachers, Stories of Growth," and "A Blueprint for the Future We Will Draw Together."

During the session, Superintendent Lim discussed the intern teachers' experiences adapting to the teaching profession over the past six months, presented certificates of completion, and encouraged their efforts. He also shared stories of growth from mentors, research schools, and intern teachers, and explored research findings and improvement measures to further establish the 'Gyeonggi Teacher Internship Program.'

Superintendent Lim stated, "The teaching profession is a path where we must solve many challenges together, such as lessons, student guidance, communication, and collaboration," and added, "Just as the experience gained through the Gyeonggi Teacher Internship Program became the starting point of your teaching careers, the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education will always be by your side."

He continued, "We will actively support teachers so that they can focus on their essential role of fostering student growth through future education platforms such as High Learning."
