Gyeongnam Office of Education Selects 40 Resident and Student Evaluators to Review Superintendent Kwon Soonki's Pledges

The members of the evaluation committee tasked with reviewing the progress and implementation of the pledge projects of Kwon Soonki, the 19th Gyeongnam Superintendent of Education, have been selected.

The Gyeongnam Office of Education said it selected 35 provincial residents and five students as evaluation committee members through an open recruitment process and a public draw.

A total of 145 people applied to serve as provincial resident evaluation committee members during the recruitment period from October 13 to 26, including 133 provincial residents and 12 students.

On October 29, the Provincial Office of Education formed a lottery committee and selected the evaluation committee members through a public draw.

In regions where the number of applicants exceeded the number of available positions, members were selected by public draw. In regions with fewer applicants than positions, all applicants were selected first, and the remaining positions were filled by drawing from applicants in other regions. Five alternate members were also selected for each city and county to fill any vacancies.

Student evaluation committee members were selected through a public draw from all applicants, without regard to region.

The selected evaluation committee members will serve from November 2026 through June 2030.

The members will attend regular evaluation committee meetings twice a year to assess the plans and implementation of pledge projects; review and decide on proposed pledge changes; offer opinions on the implementation process; and prepare evaluation reports.

Superintendent Kwon said, "Pledges are promises to provincial residents, so it is important to transparently review the implementation process and results. We will faithfully incorporate the diverse views of provincial residents and students throughout the implementation of our pledges and bring about changes in education in Gyeongnam that residents can feel."
