On April 4, at a unification primary debate among Gyeonggi Province\u2019s Democratic-progressive candidates for superintendent, Yoo Eun-hye argued that her tenure as education minister makes her the right person to restore the region\u2019s education system.<\/p>\n

At the debate, Yoo laid out her diagnosis of the crisis in Gyeonggi education, outlined policy directions and practical solutions, and emphasized her ability to implement them. In her opening remarks she said, \u201cGyeonggi education has collapsed over the past four years,\u201d and added, \u201cWe cannot entrust Gyeonggi education in crisis to an inexperienced leader.\u201d She stressed that fixing Gyeonggi education isn\u2019t about rhetoric but about actually getting the work done.<\/p>\n

Yoo placed changing the direction of Gyeonggi education at the center of her platform. She argued that test-centered, competitive schooling has disrupted students\u2019 lives, undermined teachers\u2019 instructional work, and widened regional disparities. She said the system must shift to one that takes responsibility for students\u2019 growth and well\u2011being. To that end, she proposed a \u201cresponsible education\u201d framework covering guaranteed academic competency, care and emotional support, and career education.<\/p>\n

As on-the-ground measures, she pointed to the erosion of teacher authority, the breakdown of classroom communities, and educational gaps between regions. To allow teachers to focus on instruction, she proposed introducing a \u201cSchool Complaint 119\u201d service, trimming unnecessary programs, and building a classroom-centered support system. She also called for reducing class sizes in the lower elementary grades and expanding co-teacher programs.<\/p>\n

On the controversy over the high school credit system, she said the policy was developed through sustained consultations with teachers and prepared in stages. She blamed past education reform failures on the absence of a mid- to long-term, sustainable policy framework. She criticized Superintendent Im Tae-hee\u2019s administration for cutting education welfare, disconnecting from frontline educators, and pursuing showy, short-term measures.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we need now is action, not slogans,\u201d Yoo said, pledging, \u201cI will apply the experience I gained as a member of the National Assembly\u2019s Education Committee and as education minister to restoring Gyeonggi education.\u201d<\/p>\n
