The Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education plans to establish a dedicated division for AI education policy and to carry out a broad reorganization of its structure by 2027, according to the office's announcement.
The office is elevating AI education policy to a dedicated division ('jeondam-gwa'), giving the policy area a permanent organizational home rather than leaving it distributed across existing departments. The move is intended to strengthen the office's capacity to plan and execute AI-related education programs across the province.
The restructuring is scheduled to take effect in 2027, when the office plans a sweeping overhaul of its organizational structure centered on the new AI education division. Further details of the reorganization, including staffing levels and the scope of the division's responsibilities, have not been specified in the announcement.
The plan reflects a growing emphasis on AI education among regional education authorities in Korea, as schools move to incorporate AI into curricula and administration.
Gyeongbuk's plan to create a dedicated AI education division and restructure by 2027 is consistent with the office's announcements, though details of the reorganization remain pending — making the claim Mostly True.
