Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education Launches Full-Scale Personalized Remote Classes
Addressing Teacher Shortages and Providing Real-Time Interactive Online Education

The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education held the official opening ceremony for the "Jeonnam Online School" on the 23rd, launching its full-scale operations. The school was established to bridge educational gaps between regions and to provide personalized education tailored to each student.

Superintendent Kim Daejung shared his thoughts on the opening via his social media account, stating, "The Jeonnam Online School, a place of learning for all students in Jeonnam, has opened its doors wide." The Jeonnam Online School offers real-time interactive remote classes for subjects that are difficult to provide at individual schools due to teacher shortages, operating a customized curriculum that matches each student’s career path and aptitude.

Superintendent Kim explained, "The Jeonnam Online School provides equal learning opportunities anywhere in Jeonnam, regardless of the circumstances of the region or school, and serves as a place where students can freely choose and study subjects suited to their interests and aptitudes."

He added, "Subjects that were previously difficult to offer due to a lack of specialized teachers can now be taught through real-time interactive online classes. Students participate in classes online from their own schools, while teachers conduct lessons from dedicated Jeonnam Online School classrooms at Mokpo Girls’ High School."

This year, about 300 students are participating in 36 courses at Jeonnam Online School, including Artificial Intelligence Mathematics, Calculus, and Economics. The Provincial Office of Education plans to expand the program next year to include 83 courses, such as programming and other information-related subjects, with approximately 700 students taking part.

Superintendent Kim emphasized, "The Jeonnam Online School is both a symbol and a starting point for Jeonnam education’s transition to digital-based future education. We will create an educational environment where every student can experience the joy of learning and grow independently, overcoming the limitations of time and space."

He also stated, "A future-oriented education, where students learn, choose, and forge their own paths, will unfold. We will steadfastly support Jeonnam education so that students can enjoy learning beyond regional boundaries and without the constraints of time and space."

The Jeonnam Online School, which opened on March 1 this year, conducted pilot classes in June at a dedicated online classroom within Mokpo Girls’ Middle School. After completing the construction of its facilities and systems, the school held its official opening ceremony on this day.

The opening ceremony took place in the Jeonnam Online School Media Hall, where an online demonstration class on "Physics I (Energy and Heat)" was conducted by teacher Kim Wooju. Nine students from Yeongam Nangju High School and Jodo High School participated in the class experience.
