Seoul Office of Education Recruiting 40 Applicants for 'Education Policy Content' Production

Recruitment for the Fourth Cohort of "Seoul Education Mates" Open Until March 23
Nine-Month Program Aims to Serve as a Bridge Between Citizens and Education

The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education announced on March 16 that it is recruiting the fourth cohort of “Seoul Education Mates” to produce and promote content related to education in Seoul.

This fourth round of Seoul Education Mates is open to any Seoul resident aged 18 or older who manages their own social media account and possesses video production and editing skills.

Seoul Education Mates began with 20 participants in 2023 and expanded to 60 members in both 2024 and 2025. By allowing citizens to creatively produce content on Seoul’s education policies and information on a variety of themes and in diverse formats, the project saw engagement—such as views and comments—increase by 211% year-on-year, reaching 904,171 interactions last year. The initiative has been credited with raising public understanding and interest in Seoul’s education policies through a wide array of content formats.

This year, the program will operate with 40 participants. While the number of blog reporters will be reduced to 20, the number of media creators will be expanded to 20, actively reflecting the latest trend where video content predominates.

The 40 selected members of the fourth cohort will be active for nine months, from March to November, serving as a bridge between Seoul’s education programs and citizens by producing and disseminating content related to Seoul’s education policies and information.

Applicants can visit the official blog of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education and submit their application via Google Forms by March 23.
