The book contains the reflections and concerns of preliminary candidate Jang, who over the past 25 years has served as a teacher, education policy official, and director of an education research institute, gaining experience in both the field and policymaking.

In particular, it draws attention by presenting concrete solutions for how education in Gwangju and South Jeolla Province can survive and develop amid the crisis posed by the advent of the artificial intelligence (AI) era and the risk of regional extinction.

Through the book, preliminary candidate Jang emphasizes "cooperation" and "integration." He argues for the need to build an educational ecosystem of mutual growth in which schools and local communities thrive together, saying, "Just as different lights come together to illuminate a larger world, the education systems of the two regions must reflect one another and open up a new path." As a core value, he puts forward "personalized education where everyone shines."

The event will take the form of a book talk in which the author shares his educational philosophy, and will also include time for communication with figures from the education sector and local residents.

Preliminary candidate Jang Gwanho said, "Education is the most fundamental force that designs the future of a region," adding, "I hope this book will serve as an opportunity to jointly reflect on a new beginning for education in South Jeolla Province and Gwangju. I will rebuild schools and put into practice an education that opens the future together with the community."
