[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] The Gyeonggi Lifelong Education Promotion Center will operate the "2021 Literacy Education Middle School Credential Recognition Educator Training Program" starting on the 16th to cultivate educators for literacy education who will support illiterate and low-education adults in the province in obtaining middle school credentials.

The education program will be conducted for 45 trainees recruited in October, consisting of 24 hours of in-person instruction and 15 hours of on-site practice. All courses except on-site practice will be conducted in real-time online education format through the video conference system ZOOM.

Trainees will take courses in six subject areas including class and institutional management, teaching methods, values and teacher mission, and graduates will receive educator credentials for middle school credential recognition literacy education.

After being designated as the first regional literacy education center, the Gyeonggi Lifelong Education Promotion Center has been operating various literacy education projects to establish a support system for literacy education in Gyeonggi Province. In May of this year, it trained 40 elementary school credential recognition educators through an elementary school credential recognition educator training program.
