‘Husband Cheon Chang-soo wins Ulsan Superintendent of Education by-election, Noh Ok-hee makes a comeback’

Chun Chang-soo was elected in the by-election for Ulsan City Superintendent of Education held on the 5th. Elected Cheon is the husband of Ok-hee Noh, former superintendent of education in Ulsan, who passed away last December. As a result of the counting of votes on the morning of the 6th, Chun received 61.94% (153,140 votes) of votes, easily beating candidate Kim Ju-hong, who had only 38.05% (94,075 votes), by a margin of 59,065 votes. The education community categorizes President-elect Cheon as a liberal and Candidate Kim as a conservative. This election was held in December of last year after then-superintendent Roh Ok-hee passed away suddenly. Progressive civic groups in Ulsan and the labor world have nominated Chun as a candidate for the superintendent’s by-election, which will be held after the death of former superintendent Roh. During the election campaign, President-elect Cheon set up ‘Noh Ok-hee’s Ulsan education, one more step without interruption’ as the slogan. Chun Dang-seon-in is from Gimhae, Gyeongsangnam-do. He was appointed as a teacher in 2002 and worked for one year in Seoul. The following year, he moved to Ulsan, where his family is located, and worked as a teacher for 19 years. President-elect Cheon said, “This election is a stern order from the citizens that changes and innovations in Ulsan education must continue.” We will make it standard,” he said. Roh, former superintendent of education who passed away in December of last year, is said to have blown the wind of change and innovation into local education by implementing policies to strengthen the public nature of education, such as expanding free school lunches from kindergarten to high school under the philosophy of ‘not giving up even one child’. rated He was elected during the 2018 local elections and succeeded in re-election in 2022. ♣️H6s Reporter Kim Min-je [email protected]
