The Jeonnam\u2013Gwangju Democratic Civic Society Jang Gwan-ho Support Committee held a press conference at the Mujin Hall of the Gwangju YMCA on the 30th and released a declaration of support signed by 1,488 citizens.<\/p>\n

They described Jang as the right person to fundamentally address the complex crisis marked by eroding public trust in public education and dysfunction in education administration. As a former classroom teacher with 25 years of experience and a policy expert, they said, he is a well-prepared candidate who can bridge the classroom, policymaking, and civil society.<\/p>\n

Participants emphasized that education needs a comprehensive transformation rather than piecemeal reforms. They urged restoring public trust through integrity in education administration and a citizen-participatory model of shared educational governance.<\/p>\n

At the press conference, parents and civic leaders also voiced their support.<\/p>\n

Attendees highlighted urgent education issues \u2014 improving student commute safety, strengthening childcare and after-school care systems, and expanding parental participation \u2014 and expressed their support for Jang.<\/p>\n

The committee said the declaration goes beyond endorsing a single candidate; it is a call for educational autonomy that breaks the concentration of power in a single superintendent. \\”We must build an integrated education model that brings together local communities and school stakeholders,\\” the committee said.<\/p>\n
