According to the Office of Education on the 29th, the breakdown by job series includes 14 in educational administration, 2 in library services, and 1 in IT. The selection was finalized through a resolution by the Local Public Officials Personnel Committee, based on a combined score of 50% from the promotion candidate roster and 50% from a competency assessment (15% work performance statement, 15% report, and 20% interview).

The competency assessment consisted of a work performance statement evaluating achievements during the period serving as Grade 6, a report assessing the ability to plan educational policy and propose alternatives, and an interview comprehensively evaluating the qualities and assessments of a middle manager.

To minimize work disruptions and reduce preparation burdens, the Office of Education organized special pre-training sessions on Fridays and weekends, supporting activities such as report writing and one-on-one mock interview practice.

The candidates selected for promotion will attend training at the Central Education Training Institute of the Ministry of Education in Daegu from November 3 to 28, and will be officially promoted to Grade 5 as of January 1 next year.
