Gyeonggi Province Education Superintendent Lim Tae-hee Begins Tenure with Message of "Meeting and Communication"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Gyeonggi Province Education Superintendent Lim Tae-hee began her tenure on July 1 by continuing efforts to meet and communicate with the Gyeonggi education family.

On that morning, after arriving at the Southern Building of the Gyeonggi Office of Education, Superintendent Lim held an early tea meeting with the directors and department heads, exchanging her first greetings as education superintendent, then visited offices of all departments in the Southern Building, making eye contact and communicating with each staff member.

Staff members at the Southern Building of the Gyeonggi Office of Education welcomed the new superintendent with pre-prepared flower bouquets and handwritten letters.

On this day, instead of holding an inauguration ceremony, Superintendent Lim held an online and offline talk concert with education families from 31 cities and counties—including students, parents, and teachers—based on communications with students since her election.

Meanwhile, Superintendent Lim expressed condolences on social media for the deaths of student Jo Yu-na and her parents, who were involved in an accident during a period of off-campus experiential learning. She emphasized that this incident should not be distorted solely as an off-campus experiential learning issue.

Superintendent Lim stated, "I will do my best to examine all systems in Gyeonggi education, including home experiential learning, that guide students' proper character and growth, prioritizing student safety and health above all else and reducing difficulties in teachers' work performance."

Following this, Superintendent Lim attended the 'Gyeonggi Education Communication Concert' held at the Namyangju Sports and Culture Center in the afternoon, which was attended by approximately 2,000 education family members, and is scheduled to visit the Northern Building office in Uijeongbu and continue meetings with staff in each department.
