Wanju County Education Integrated Support Center (Director, Lim Seong-hee) held a final report meeting on the research project for the village instructor certification system based on local content on the 21st. The final report meeting was attended by about 30 people including officials from Wanju County Office, Wanju Education Support Office, village instructors, representatives of educational communities, and researchers.

Kim, a village instructor who participated in the meeting, expressed confidence by saying, "There have been few opportunities to be recognized for professionalism while working as an instructor in the field. However, if the village instructor certification system is promoted based on local content that understands my hometown (Wanju County), I can acquire more professional capabilities than anyone else."

At this final report meeting, research results on three topics were presented: the current status and improvement measures for school-village instructors (Professor Kim Cheon-hong from Wooseok University), improvement of educational processes and enhancement of mediator training (Professor Han Ji-young from Daejin University), and basic research on digital badge issuance (Hong Su-jin from Wooseok University).

A Wanju County official stated, "This differentiated certification system will enable village instructors to provide a wider range of educational content and evolve into an educational model that meets the demands of the local community."

Furthermore, an official from Wanju Education Support Office conveyed, "Through the Wanju County village instructor certification system, we are pursuing differentiated expertise through linkage with local content. We hope that this certification system will be gradually applied and operated, including mandatory school education curriculum such as disability awareness, sexual violence prevention, school violence prevention, and emergency response education."
