Kim Hansoo, former Vice President of Paichai University and a prospective candidate for Daejeon Superintendent of Education in the upcoming June 3 local elections, will hold a publication celebration for his new book, "Making Classrooms Truly Classrooms," at 3 p.m. on January 17 at the Concert Hall of the 21st Century Building at Paichai University.

In particular, former President Moon Jae-in, who is Kim Hansoo's brother-in-law, is scheduled to attend the publication event.

This event will be hosted by Professor Tak Hyunmin and will take the form of a roundtable talk show, rather than a lecture or one-sided presentation.

Centered around the author, seven to eight participants, including teachers, citizens, and education professionals, will sit together at a roundtable to freely discuss the changes and realities of classrooms, as well as the conditions necessary to restore classrooms to their true purpose.

An organizer explained, "This book concert is not a venue for expressing specific positions, but rather a space for various stakeholders who have experienced classrooms to discuss the essence of education."

"Making Classrooms Truly Classrooms" is a book that does not approach education solely as a matter of systems or administration, but instead begins with questions about restoring trust and relationships in the classroom, as well as the recovery of teaching, reflecting on the current realities faced by classrooms and the direction of education today.

This book concert is open to all citizens.
