The Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Office of Education's Jeonju Student Education and Culture Center (Director Kim Hyeong-dae) is operating the "Elementary Literacy Education Instructor Training Program" with the goal of training instructors for late-starting elementary school students.

This training program targets graduates from universities (including vocational schools) in Jeonbuk Province who are interested in literacy education or individuals with over 120 hours of relevant education experience since high school graduation. Applications can be submitted through the Literacy Education Comprehensive Information System (www.le.or.kr/as) until May 23.

The training program will run from June 4 to 17 for a total of 70 hours, consisting of group training and field practice. The theoretical education will cover understanding literacy education, pedagogy, teaching methods, while the field practice will involve a 5-day session at an actual literacy education institution with a mentor. Upon completion of the entire program, participants will be granted certification as literacy education program instructors for elementary school students.

Director Kim Hyeong-dae stated, "This training program is significant in cultivating local literacy education professionals with expertise and practical skills," adding, "We will systematically support adult learners in acquiring elementary education."
