10 years of Seoul education will be reviewed
The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (SMOE) announced on June 30 that the board was scheduled to hold forums four times in July to review its policies over the past 10 years.
The forums, which will take place on July 1, July 9, July 17, and July 26, are geared toward making better policies of the SOME down the road.
Teachers, students, and experts will take part in the forums to make speeches and share case studies through discussions. Around 700 audience will also join, according to the SMOE.
Included in the topics will be the various changes in classrooms over the past decade. They will also deal with how schools treated the hot-button issues of educational inequality.
SMOE Superintendent Cho Hee-yeon expressed his hopes for the gatherings.
“We will be able to where we stand only after reviewing the past,” Cho said.
“We have tried to renovate the city’s education for around 10 years. After checking what had happened, we will also design the future of our education policies.”
The SMOE is a school board in Seoul. It was established in October 1956, just three years after the Korean War (1950-53) came to an end.
