Having registered as a preliminary candidate with the Gyeongsangnam-do Election Commission on February 3, he emphasized his commitment to elevating this election beyond outdated ideological battles to a platform for substantive policy debate. <\/p>\n<p> The cornerstone of his policy platform involves a fundamental overhaul of administrative structures and addressing gaps in educational welfare. <\/p>\n<p> Oh outlined five major tasks: establishing a foundation for future-oriented education, providing tailored care and education, implementing universal educational welfare, ensuring accountable administration, and fostering a stable educational ecosystem. <\/p>\n<p> Notably, his vision of &#8220;accountable administration proportional to authority and responsibility&#8221; aims to streamline the education office&#8217;s functions and redirect resources to schools, embodying the philosophy of &#8220;small education offices, big schools.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> His campaign promises include bolstering basic academic skills through a Gyeongsangnam-do version of the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, fully subsidizing meal costs during school breaks, deploying dedicated staff for integrated student support programs, covering all field trip expenses from school budgets, and implementing a liability protection system for educational activities. These measures aim to ease financial burdens on parents while safeguarding teachers&#8217; educational rights. <\/p>\n<p> During the Q&amp;A, Oh distinguished his approach from ranking-based standardized testing when addressing concerns about declining basic academic skills. He explained, &#8220;While parents often equate subject scores with academic ability, the education sector has shifted focus to competency-based learning. We&#8217;ll rigorously assess basic skills while prioritizing education that fosters creativity.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> Oh firmly rejected the possibility of aligning with or being absorbed by any specific political faction. <\/p>\n<p> As the Gyeongsangnam-do Superintendent of Education race evolves into a multi-candidate contest beyond the traditional conservative-progressive binary, Oh is committed to pursuing his &#8220;broad centrist&#8221; platform to the end. This strategy aims to overcome the limitations of past artificial candidate selection processes and establish a competitive edge based on individual merit. <\/p>\n<p> To enhance policy implementation, Oh emphasized building a collaborative relationship with the Gyeongsangnam-do Provincial Assembly. <\/p>\n<p> He stressed, &#8220;We need win-win policies that expand opportunities for all, not zero-sum games that benefit one group at the expense of another,&#8221; highlighting the importance of balancing administrative and political interests.<\/p>\n<p>Oh also expressed strong support for a liability protection system responsive to educators&#8217; needs. <\/p>\n<p> He stated, &#8220;Experiential learning is crucial to education. We&#8217;ll implement a liability protection system for accidents during educational activities, ensuring teachers can instruct without fear and students can learn safely.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> Concluding the press conference, Oh urged, &#8220;Let&#8217;s move beyond unproductive ideological debates. I aim to make this election a vivid lesson in civic engagement for our students through high-level policy discussions.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> As the election approaches, the scrutiny of candidates&#8217; policies and the consolidation of support bases are expected to become central issues in Gyeongsangnam-do&#8217;s education landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh In-tae
