Jeju Education Office to Redesign Career Education for 2027, Seeking Direct Input from Students, Parents and Teachers

【Financial News Jeju = Reporter Yong-bok Jeong】 The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Office of Education is redesigning next year’s career-education policies based on the actual experiences and needs of students, parents and teachers.
According to the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Office of Education on the 2nd, it is conducting an online survey through the 18th to establish the 2027 Basic Plan for the Promotion of Career Education among students, parents and teachers.
The survey focuses on securing basic data for developing career-education policies that enhance students’ self-directed career-development skills and can be meaningfully experienced in schools.
The survey is being conducted online through the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Office of Education’s Eureka system. Each group—students, parents and teachers—has five questions designed to identify their experiences and satisfaction with career education, as well as the programs and improvements needed going forward.
Students are asked about the career education they have experienced so far, the activities they remember most and the career-related experiences they would like to participate in. These questions are intended to determine what kind of experiences current school career education has actually provided and to identify demand for future programs.
The parent survey examines the career education their children have experienced at school, along with the areas they believe should be strengthened in school career education going forward.

Teachers are asked about the current state of career education operated at their schools and the improvements they believe are needed in the field. The survey divides respondents into three groups so that the needs of students and parents can be compared with the views of teachers who actually run the programs.
The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Office of Education plans to analyze the survey results and incorporate them into the 2027 Basic Plan for the Promotion of Career Education. The findings will be used to tailor necessary career-education programs by school level and target group and to strengthen the support system for schools.
Career education is not limited to activities that help students choose a desired occupation. It is a process of identifying their aptitudes and areas of interest and connecting those insights to decisions about study, further education and careers. This is why determining which programs students have actually experienced and what more they want is the starting point for policy design.
The survey results will draw particular attention to how needs differ among the groups, since students and parents may have different priorities and the career information and types of experiences required can also vary by school level.
The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Office of Education will share the survey findings at the 2026 Career Education Performance-Sharing Session scheduled for December. After reviewing the results alongside the performance of career-education programs in schools, it plans to discuss measures to promote career education next year.
