Busan Office of Education Awards Work Automation Program Competition... Staff Enhance Administrative Efficiency

Employees of the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education have introduced a variety of programs that reduce unnecessary administrative procedures and automate repetitive tasks, based on ideas they discovered firsthand in the field.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Kim Seokjun) held an awards ceremony on the afternoon of October 27 in the office's conference room to recognize outstanding entries in the "Work Automation Program Development Competition." The competition, which was held for the office's staff from August to September, was designed to promote field-oriented administrative innovation.

A total of 43 programs were submitted to the competition, and five teams were selected as winners after being evaluated for practicality and scalability.

The grand prize (5 million won) went to Kwon Boseong, a teacher at Busan National University of Education High School, for developing the "Class Assignment Automation and Management Program." This program was highly praised for automating the complex class assignment process brought about by the introduction of the high school credit system, thereby significantly reducing the administrative burden on teachers.

The excellence award (2.5 million won) was given to the Edu-I Team, consisting of Hong Minki from the General Affairs Division and Park Kyungryeong from the Character, Physical Education, and School Meals Division at the main office, for their "Out-of-Office Travel Expense Settlement Program." The program received high marks for greatly improving administrative efficiency by automatically generating business trip reports and settlement forms.

Three teams received the encouragement award (1 million won each). ▲The Check Checker Team, comprised of Lim Byeongyul from Dongnae High School and Kim Hyekyung from Namsan High School, developed the "High School Credit System Course Registration Auto-Check Program," which automatically detects course registration errors and organizes individual results. ▲The Yuil Team, led by Song Yuil from Daemyeong Girls' High School, introduced the "Grade Aggregation Assistant," which makes it easy to generate statistical reports for each school. ▲The Work Four Major Insurances Team, led by Shin Ukjae from Dongmyeong Elementary School, developed the "Integrated Four Major Insurances Program for Educational Staff," which automates the collection of insurance bills using macros.

Superintendent Kim Seokjun stated, "The creative efforts of staff members to directly solve on-site inconveniences are the starting point for administrative innovation," adding, "We will actively support the implementation of the award-winning programs in actual schools and institutions." He continued, "I hope this competition will serve as an opportunity to enhance staff work efficiency and spread a culture of digital transformation."
