The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education announced on January 30 that it has published the "Dongducheon City Childcare Work Practical Manual," which details the achievements from the past year of carrying out childcare work in Dongducheon City for the development of an integrated early childhood education and care model.

The manual organizes childcare work into five main categories and 69 project management cards, compiling information on legal grounds, budget structures, processing procedures, system operation methods, and practical considerations.

In particular, it provides detailed descriptions of the execution procedures for complex childcare financial projects involving mixed funding from the national, provincial, and municipal governments, as well as guidance on utilizing local government administrative systems.

Previously, the provincial office of education, together with Dongducheon City-which has been designated as a special education development zone-selected the development of an integrated early childhood education and care model as a key project and has worked to overcome differences in administrative systems through collaboration.


To this end, starting in January last year, five public officials were dispatched to the childcare team in the Family Support Division of Dongducheon City Hall to work alongside local staff and carry out the entire childcare work process. The manual was published based on the achievements gained through this process.



An official from the provincial office of education stated, "It is the first time nationwide that an office of education has experienced local government childcare work through dispatch, and this is an innovative example of breaking down institutional barriers within a special education development zone. This manual was created to minimize administrative gaps and trial-and-error that may arise when the work is transferred to the office of education in the future."
