[Financial News] Kindergarten teachers in Busan who have put child- and play-centered educational innovation into practice have been recognized for their achievements in teaching innovation research. 
The Busan Metropolitan City Office of Education announced on the 12th that it held an awards ceremony for the 2026 School Year Kindergarten Teaching Innovation Case Study Competition in its International Conference Room on the 11th and presented certificates to 14 outstanding teachers. 
The competition was organized to identify outstanding examples of child- and play-centered teaching innovation and share and spread them among kindergartens.
