[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] The Gyeongbuk Office of Education is accelerating preparations for the stable establishment and implementation of the 'Conflict of Interest Prevention Act for Public Officials,' which will take effect from the 19th.

The 'Conflict of Interest Prevention Act for Public Officials' is a law enacted to prevent conflicts of interest that may arise during the performance of duties by prohibiting public officials from pursuing private interests related to their official duties.

The Office of Education conducted training for all headquarters staff last year in line with the enactment of this law, and this year plans to enact and implement the 'Gyeongsangbuk-do Office of Education Conflict of Interest Prevention System Operation Regulation' for all staff training and efficient work performance.

Since April, they have been distributing a self-produced promotional video about the 'Conflict of Interest Prevention Act for Public Officials' through the Gyeongbuk Office of Education's official YouTube channel 'Matkulmeotkul,' explaining that affiliated public officials find it much easier to understand the difficult law through entertaining videos.

Kim Hyejeong, the auditor, said, “Following existing laws emphasizing public officials' integrity, such as the Code of Conduct for Public Officials and the Anti-Graft Act, we will strive to provide institutional support and promotion for the stable establishment of this newly implemented Conflict of Interest Prevention Act so that public officials can meet the heightened public expectations for integrity.”
