Toward Child-Centered Education in Gyeongnam

He continued, "Education must now shift toward fostering the growth, happiness, and future competencies of each and every child. I will create an environment where teachers can fully devote themselves to teaching and establish an educational system in Gyeongnam where parents can confidently entrust their children."


On the day of his registration, Kwon once again emphasized his key pledges, which include: establishing customized care and education systems for students who learn at a slower pace and those who need special assistance; strengthening the protection of teachers' rights; bridging educational gaps between regions; and expanding future-oriented education based on AI and digital technologies.


He particularly stressed the need for an education system that guarantees both the right to learn and the right to care for children, stating, "Along with creating a stable learning environment for general students, I will provide separate, tailored support systems for students who require additional help."


He further remarked, "Early childhood education and care are the starting points of education in Gyeongnam. By expanding support for both public and private kindergartens, improving the working conditions of after-school and childcare teachers, and establishing on-site support systems, I will strengthen the public nature of education."


Starting with his registration, Kwon will travel throughout Gyeongnam Province, listening to the opinions of educators, parents, school staff, and local communities as part of a field-oriented campaign.



Kwon stated, "Gyeongnam education stands at a crossroads of change. I will transform Gyeongnam from a place people leave for education into a place people come to for education."
