Park Sun-jun, a member of the Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City Council (Goheung 2, Democratic Party of Korea), has been elected as the first chair of the Special Budget and Settlement Committee of the Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City Office of Education.
"A budget is not a list of numbers, but a policy that sets the direction of education and changes the lives of citizens," first chair Park said Wednesday. "I will do my best to conduct thorough and responsible deliberations so that limited resources can lead to the learning and growth of students and the future of the region."
The Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City Council established a separate Special Budget and Settlement Committee for the Office of Education for the first time in its history, taking into account the expanded scale of education finance and policy expertise. Through this, it separated the review functions of the general account and the special education budget account, and established a more specialized and systematic review system for the Office of Education's budget proposals and settlements.
In particular, the Special Budget and Settlement Committee for the Office of Education will closely review the overall budget to ensure student-centered education finance is operated efficiently, and will play a pivotal role in responsible education finance management that supports future education.
The Special Budget and Settlement Committee for the Office of Education consists of 15 members in total, including chair Park Sun-jun, vice chair Park Min-young, and council members Choi Seon-guk, Seo Dae-hyun, Park Pil-sun, Kim Mi-yeon, Kang Kyung-yoon, Han Gwi-rye, Park Jeong-seon, Lee Sook-hee, Jeong Ki-seong, Kim Jang-kwon, Jeong Hee-seon, Lee Haeng-do, and No Jin-seong.
Meanwhile, council member Park Sun-jun engaged in active legislative work while serving as a member of the 11th and 12th South Jeolla Provincial Council.
