The provincial office of education plans to comprehensively introduce Gyeonggi special education policies, curriculum, educational environment, and medical linkage programs during this visit.
Kim Sun-hee, Director of Special Education at the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, said, “While promoting the three-year plan to revitalize Gyeonggi special education this year, we have strived to achieve groundbreaking changes in special education, such as expanding special education personnel and care, and introducing the nation’s first universal design education policy that considers educationally vulnerable groups.” She added, “We will further accelerate efforts so that Gyeonggi’s excellent special education policies become a model for special education in the Republic of Korea and eventually establish themselves as a global model.”
Meanwhile, the provincial office of education plans to actively pursue openness and cooperation with foreign countries to promote excellent education policies worldwide.
Ahead of the 'UNESCO International Forum on the Future of Education' scheduled for December, they intend to continue expanding special education exchanges and cooperation with international organizations.
