"Future Education in the AI Era: Growing Together"… Kim Seokjun, Busan Superintendent, Holds On-Site Meeting with Parents

At Jwadong Elementary School:
"Let's Talk Together About Our Children's Future"

Kim Seokjun, Superintendent of Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, held an on-site communication meeting with approximately 250 parents under the theme "Let's Talk Together About Our Children's Future" at the auditorium of Jwadong Elementary School in Haeundae District on the afternoon of October 28.

This meeting was organized for the superintendent to directly meet with parents, explain the main policy directions of Busan education, and listen to a wide range of voices from the field. It is being evaluated as a practical platform for communication that goes beyond simple policy promotion, enabling parents to participate in designing the future of Busan education together.

During a special lecture on the same day, Superintendent Kim introduced the main policies currently being promoted by the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, including: human-centered future education leading in AI; customized education that nurtures both academic ability and emotional well-being; safe educational activities that protect Busan education; and civic education to foster wise future talents.

During the subsequent Q&A session, various topics were discussed, focusing on questions submitted by parents in advance and opinions raised on-site. These included guidance on children's smartphone use, strengthening career and academic counseling, expanding AI education within public education, and parent participation in educational policies.

Starting with this meeting at the Haeundae Education Support Office, the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education plans to hold a total of four on-site communication meetings, one at each education support office. Opinions collected from parents at each site will be actively reflected in the future process of establishing educational policies.

Superintendent Kim stated, "At the center of Busan education are always students and parents," and added, "By directly listening to and communicating with parents, and reflecting their input in our policies, we will create an educational environment in Busan where families, schools, and the education office work together to support students' growth."
