Gyeonggi Province Superintendent's Transition Committee Confirmed... Danwon High School Bereaved Family Member Included in Advisory Panel

The transition committee for Gyeonggi Province Education Superintendent-elect Lee Jae-jeong has been established.

The committee held its first meeting at a Suwon office on the 11th and organized five subcommittees, including the Danwon High School Special Task Force (chaired by Hwang In-sung), and appointed 34 advisors and consultants.

The five subcommittees consist of the Discrimination Elimination Special Committee (chaired by Kim Geo-sung), and sectional committees on livelihood (chaired by Sung Ki-sun), teachers' rights (chaired by Son Sang-hoon), and innovation (chaired by Seo Gil-won).

Twenty-nine advisory committee members were appointed, including Yoo Kyung-geun, spokesperson for the Sewol Ferry Bereaved Families Committee.

The transition committee will take over duties from the Gyeonggi Province Office of Education regarding establishment of support measures for Danwon High School, elimination of non-regular worker discrimination, reduction of parents' educational expenses, teachers' rights protection, and school innovation, and will also devise plans to implement the superintendent-elect's campaign promises.

Transition Committee Chair Kim Sang-geun said, "Let us do our best to help Superintendent-elect Lee and establish good guidelines and a roadmap to ensure promises are fulfilled well."

Meanwhile, the Gyeonggi Province Office of Education conducted background checks on 12 transition committee members recommended by the superintendent-elect and appointed them on the same day. Committee members will serve until the end of next month.
