This training program is themed "Leaders Who Read the Future, Administration That Realizes Change," and aims to: ▲ define the roles and responsibilities of educational administration leaders who will drive future education in Gyeonggi Province; ▲ strengthen policy implementation capabilities in the era of digital transformation; ▲ foster horizontal collaboration among the provincial office, education support offices, and affiliated institutions; and ▲ cultivate intergenerational empathy and leadership.

Notably, instead of a simple lecture format, the course is designed as a participatory and discussion-based program to produce outcomes that can be immediately applied in actual policy settings.

The curriculum includes: ▲ a special lecture on artificial intelligence (AI), digital transformation, and innovation in educational administration; ▲ policy issue discussions; ▲ reverse talk sessions with Millennials & Gen Z employees; ▲ communication with the superintendent; and ▲ competency assessments and debriefings (post-evaluation).

During the policy issue discussion, under the theme of "AI and Digital Administrative Innovation," participants will explore strategies for inter-agency collaboration and implementation related to building digital platforms at the provincial office. The results of these discussions will be systematically organized and shared to ensure they are directly reflected in future policy implementation and on-site application.

In the Reverse Talk session, Millennials & Gen Z employees will participate as instructors, sharing intergenerational empathy talks and real-life episodes, and will work with senior officials to create a "Healthy Organizational Communication Manual." Through this, the program aims to establish a future-oriented leadership style based on empathy and respect.

Superintendent Lim Taehee, who participated in the dialogue with the trainees that day, said, "We must contemplate changes in Gyeonggi education and create an efficient and rational administrative culture," adding, "Senior staff should pass on effective work methods to junior staff, and everyone should collaborate as a team."

He further emphasized, "I hope this training serves as an opportunity for educational administration leaders to explore the direction they should pursue and to pledge to put it into practice together."

The provincial office plans to use this training to strengthen the strategic leadership of Grade 4 officials and to establish a field-oriented culture of collaboration and responsible policy execution.

In addition, by integrating AI and digital transformation initiatives into educational administration, the office aims to lay the foundation for evolving into a future-oriented and innovative organization.
