The workshop followed a session for the southern region held at the Jowon Office on October 17. It was organized to strengthen officers' ability to respond to incidents in schools, including infringements on educational activities, reports of teachers for child abuse, and malicious complaints.

The workshop focused more on case-based exercises and simulations than on lectures. Participants shared best practices in on-site support across different areas and took part in scenario-based exercises and group discussions. They then used real cases to simulate response procedures, share the results, and review support measures.

"Strengthening the expertise of teacher rights protection officers is the foremost safeguard for helping teachers receive protection from unfair infringements and malicious complaints and focus on their core educational activities," said Park Hyunseok, Senior Deputy Head of Teacher Rights Protection Officers. "With this workshop connecting the southern and northern regions as a starting point, we will build a comprehensive safety net for protecting educational activities throughout Gyeonggi."

The Provincial Office of Education plans to continue strengthening officers' on-site support capabilities to protect teachers' legitimate educational activities and foster an educational environment where teachers and students respect one another.
