◆ Announcer Park Gui-bin (hereinafter referred to as Park Gui-bin): The UNESCO International Forum on the Future of Education held this week concluded with great success yesterday. Let's call Lim Tae-hee, the superintendent of Gyeonggi-do Province, to talk about the future of Gyeonggi education that UNESCO noted. Hello, superintendent.

◇ Lim Tae-hee, superintendent of Gyeonggi-do (hereinafter referred to as Lim Tae-hee): Yes, hello. I'm Lim Tae-hee.

◆ Park Gui-bin: You did a great job until yesterday.

◇ Lim Tae-hee: Yes. We held the event like this for a very busy three days.

◆ [Voiceover] That's right. I'm looking forward to how much achievement I'll have made, and I'll ask you soon, but before that, the superintendent of education has been a three-term lawmaker, a minister, and a presidential chief of staff, so I can't help but ask. There are now talks about impeachment of the president, and not long ago, the declaration of emergency martial law was lifted. How are you watching it?

◇ Lim Tae-hee: Yes. First of all, it's a belief that I've had through my experience, but the Korean people are really great. In what way is great? Is it an operational activity that does not win the hearts of the people and does not sympathize? What kind of manipulative activity do you call it? We believe that this operation will no longer work for the Korean people. In that sense, what happened the night before yesterday was actually an activity that cannot and should not succeed because these people are these people. We should just maintain the normalcy of school and all these activities. I have that belief, so I thought it would last only a few hours. Actually.


◆Park Guivin: Yes, yes.

◇ Lim Tae-hee: There's a lot of discussions going on in the National Assembly right now, but I think the administration is almost probably paralysed. It's a situation where Korea can't stay like that. So, I think we should put our heads together to discuss what is a really desirable solution for the people as the National Assembly has become more responsible than where it is. It's a little hard for me to give you more details than that.

◆ [Park Gwibin] Yes, yes, yes. I wanted to ask you a little more because you seem to have used manipulative expressions a little while ago regarding the declaration of martial law. How do you think it will be possible to resolve the impeachment motion so far regarding the declaration of martial law this time? How do you see it?

◇ Lim Tae-hee: I think it's hard to just pass by as if nothing is going on, and I don't think it should be. This is clearly responsible for the part that needs to be taken care of. That way, the treatment can be normal. Yes, I think so.

◆ Park Gui-bin: You're in this position that accountability and apology are necessary. Yes, I see. So there was a bit of confusion when the forum was in full swing.

◇ Lim Tae-hee: We were one day away from the last day and it happened the night before.

◆ Park Gui Bin: That's right.

◇ Lim Tae-hee: So I was very worried about the event, but I've been making that judgment before, so this is normal for our education office staff. And I wrote this phrase myself and instructed it right after 12 o'clock that day, just after midnight, saying that all schools would remain normal.

◆ [Park Gwibin] That's right. You must have been very surprised at the time, and anyway, the academic world. There was a lot of concern that there might be a change in the administration of the academic schedule in education, but it is being maintained normally now.

◇ [Lim Tae-hee] That's right. All right.
