Gyeongbuk Education Superintendent Candidate Lim Jong-sik to Promote Introduction of Park Golf After-School Classes

Hosting a Park Golf Tournament with Participation from Three Generations

Jong-sik Lim, a preliminary candidate for Superintendent of Gyeongbuk Office of Education, announced on May 4 that he would promote the introduction of "Park Golf After-School Classes" and the hosting of a "Three-Generation Park Golf Tournament" as pledges for the healthy growth of students and the restoration of family and local educational communities.

Candidate Lim first stated his intention to introduce "Park Golf After-School Classes" so that students can learn park golf through after-school programs. Park golf is easier to learn than regular golf, requires relatively less equipment and space, and is a lifestyle sport that helps students improve basic physical fitness, concentration, manners, and consideration for others.

In particular, since park golf places more importance on following the rules, walking together, and waiting rather than on intense competition, it is evaluated as being suitable for character education and physical education for students.

To this end, he also plans to utilize professional personnel currently working as educational instructors in the region as after-school instructors. By linking local lifestyle sports personnel with school education, students will gain new opportunities for physical activities, while the region will benefit from increased participation in education and expanded employment opportunities.

Candidate Lim explained, "If we connect the educational instructors already active in the region to school after-school education, it will provide students with healthy learning opportunities and broaden the path for community participation in education."

In addition, Candidate Lim announced plans to hold a "Three-Generation Park Golf Tournament," in which grandparents, parents, and grandchildren form a team. This is not just a sporting event, but an educational program aimed at intergenerational communication, family unity, and the restoration of the local community. Children will learn manners and consideration by playing with elders, the parent generation will regain time to spend with their family, and the grandparent generation will gain health and vitality.

Candidate Lim emphasized, "What our education needs now is not just studying in the classroom, but education where families spend time together and understand each other. The Three-Generation Park Golf Tournament will provide character education for children, family time for parents, and health and vitality for elders, becoming a Gyeongbuk-style intergenerational empathy education."

Candidate Lim added, "Education does not only happen in the classroom. Children learn at school, grow at home, and develop the strength to live within the community. Through Park Golf After-School Classes and the Three-Generation Park Golf Tournament, I will create a warm educational community that connects schools, families, and the region."
