Spreading a Horizontal Culture of Integrity
Through Innovative Ideas from Young Public Officials

This initiative was introduced to strengthen the momentum for policy implementation in the absence of a dedicated integrity unit within the organization and to increase the effectiveness of policies through bottom-up innovation led by young employees.

The "Integrity MZ Junior Board" will consist of education staff members with less than 10 years of experience. Its main activities will include creating promotional content and goods related to integrity, identifying cases of power abuse, and monitoring areas within the organization vulnerable to corruption, all aimed at spreading a culture of integrity.

The Office of Education has also prepared various support measures to ensure the effective operation of the "MZ Junior Board." Outstanding groups will receive a commendation from the superintendent, and groups affiliated with local education support offices will be awarded additional points in the anti-corruption policy evaluation.

Employees who wish to participate can form groups of 3 to 4 members and submit an application and activity plan to the audit office from March 23 to April 10.

Audit Director Lim Jaewook stated, "We expect that the MZ Junior Board will serve as a focal point for an integrity collaboration network across departments, increasing policy acceptance and leading to the genuine spread of a culture of integrity."
