The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education announced on April 21 that it will hold a briefing session on the progress of the Gwangju-Jeonnam education administration integration at the Gwangju AI Education Institute's main auditorium for faculty and staff from kindergartens, elementary, middle, high, and special schools until April 22.

This briefing session has been organized to minimize confusion in the educational field and enhance understanding at schools in light of the launch of the Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Metropolitan Office of Education scheduled for July.

In particular, the session will provide detailed guidance on the changes resulting from the restructuring of the educational administration system and will gather diverse opinions to ensure transparency in the policy implementation process.

The city Office of Education plans to separate the briefing sessions for principals and vice principals to prevent the absence of school administrators from the field. On April 21, the sessions will be conducted for all school principals, administrative managers of kindergartens and elementary schools, and faculty members. On April 22, the sessions will be for all vice principals, administrative managers of middle and special schools, and faculty members. The briefings will cover: the progress of the education administration integration, the main roadmap, the status of discussions in each sector, and the direction of the system restructuring.

From April 10 to 16, the city Office of Education held four itinerant briefings for 14 affiliated organizations, and on April 17, convened a meeting with a labor union council involving 11 organizations, actively gathering opinions from the field.

Kim Chigon, head of the Gwangju-Jeonnam Education Administration Integration Preparation Team, stated, "We expect that this opportunity for communication will allow the educational community to build consensus on the launch of the Integrated Metropolitan Office of Education," and added, "We will actively reflect voices from the field to create a stable yet innovative model for education administration integration."
