Poster for Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education's Intensive Reporting Period for Illegal Sponsorship Funds
The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education will operate focused reporting periods for corruption-prone areas to realize the values of fair and transparent Gyeonggi education.
According to the results of last year's integrity evaluation, the Office selected three corruption-prone areas and announced on the 20th that it will accept focused reports during periods with a high incidence of corruption.
The three corruption-prone areas are ▲illegal sponsorship money (May and October) ▲goods and construction sectors (July to August) ▲power abuse (July).
In addition to the focused reporting on these three areas, the Office always accepts whistleblowing and reports of power abuse.
The Office thoroughly protects confidentiality and guarantees the identity of whistleblowers and reporters of power abuse to prevent any disadvantages. In particular, whistleblowers can consult with a dedicated lawyer and have the lawyer report on their behalf under the lawyer's name.
An official from the Office stated, "To realize the values of fairness and transparency, much interest and courageous reporting are needed," and added, "We will continue to strive to establish a culture of integrity."
