Gyeonggi Education Office Announces 100 Recipients for Master's Degree Program Support

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education announced on September 16 that it has selected 100 teachers to receive support for the 2025 fall semester master's degree program.

Support for the teacher master's degree program is an initiative aimed at fostering a culture of autonomous research among teachers and enhancing expertise in future education. It is one of the key pledges of Superintendent Lim Taehee.

The selected recipients are teachers with at least five years of teaching experience who are currently employed at public kindergartens, elementary, middle, high, and special schools in the province and are scheduled to enroll in a graduate school of education master's program.

The selected teachers will receive support covering 50% of tuition per semester (up to 1.5 million won, excluding admission fees) for up to six semesters. However, after obtaining the degree, they are required to serve for a period equal to the number of semesters supported. In addition, they must share research results each semester and support the implementation of policies at their schools after earning their degree.

The provincial education office plans to support the academic growth of teachers through this program, disseminate research outcomes at the school level, and lay the foundation for implementing future education in Gyeonggi Province. Furthermore, by strengthening support so that teacher expertise is reflected in school education and policy, the office aims to expand a virtuous cycle of performance dissemination.

Meanwhile, since 2023, a total of 541 teachers have been selected for this support program.
