Strengthening Child Health and Safety
Focusing on Enhancing Professional Expertise

Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 23rd that it will expand the number of health teachers in kindergartens to 28 in order to support healthy and safe lives for young children.

While health teachers were assigned to 21 independent kindergartens until last year, this year, seven additional health teachers will be deployed to kindergartens with six or more classes. This measure aims to respond quickly to the health and safety needs of young children and to strengthen preventive education.
