The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education is accelerating its efforts toward the integration of educational administration between Jeonnam and Gwangju. The office has strengthened its field-oriented educational support structure by appointing Yangil Yoon, Team Leader, to the newly established fourth-grade position as the head of the 'Jeonnam-Gwangju Educational Administration Integration Task Force.'

According to the Provincial Office of Education on March 16, this round of general civil servant appointments will take effect on March 19 and April 1, covering a total of 82 individuals: 42 promotions (one to grade 4, two to grade 5, four to grade 6, nine to grade 7, and 26 to grade 8), 30 transfers, and two new appointments.

The primary focus of this personnel measure is, without a doubt, to secure momentum for the 'integration of educational administration between Jeonnam and Gwangju.' In alignment with the establishment of the integration task force, the office will assign 11 general civil servants—including those previously supporting the task force—to the new unit as of March 19, thus laying the foundation for systematic and stable discussions on administrative integration.

Yangil Yoon, who previously led the Student Placement Team, was promoted and appointed as the inaugural head (grade 4) of the Jeonnam-Gwangju Educational Administration Integration Task Force. Both inside and outside the office, Yoon is regarded as the right person to smoothly lead this unprecedented process of educational administration integration, thanks to his extensive policy implementation experience and outstanding organizational management capabilities.

In the appointments for grade 5 section chiefs, three individuals were transferred, including Samsu Jang, former head of the Organization and Legal Affairs Team, who will now lead the Educational Administration Integration Team within the task force. Additionally, Yanguk Kim, Administrative Director of the Student Education Center, and Hyeongcheol Kim, Administrative Director at Yeonggwang Electronics High School, were both promoted to grade 5 section chief positions.

In the promotions for staff below grade 6, the office maintained its field-oriented policy by giving preference to employees working at front-line schools and educational support offices. Furthermore, to ensure organizational stability, personnel were prioritized for placement in front-line institutions and schools experiencing staff shortages due to leaves of absence and increased workload.

Superintendent Kim Daejung emphasized, "The launch of the Jeonnam-Gwangju Educational Administration Integration Task Force marks a crucial starting point for the integration of educational administration between Jeonnam and Gwangju," adding, "We will continue to steadily promote integration discussions and consistently improve our organization and personnel in order to further enhance administrative competitiveness."
