The 59th General Meeting of the Gyeonggi Private Schools Forum (GPSF) was held on October 1st in the Grand Auditorium in Ajou University's College Academic Building. GPSF is a society of principals from private middle and high schools located in Gyeonggi Province and has about two hundred members.


The day's event was held under the theme of 'Taking on New Challenges in Education,' with about one hundred fifty people in attendance. It began with greetings by GPSF Chairperson Aeh Sun Jung (Principal of Dasan High School), followed by welcome remarks by Ajou's President Dong Yeon Kim and a special lecture entitled 'Innovation and Future of Education in Gyeonggi Province' by Superintendent Jae Jeong Lee of the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education.


President Kim said, "The topic for today's forum – Taking on New Challenges in Education – is a subject that I have delved into during the past eight months since I took office as Ajou's President," adding, "It is not easy for policies and programs to produce expected results at all times, even if they begin with good objectives. In this regard, I believe that principals should play important roles on the site of education."


President Kim went on to introduce the University's 'After You Program – Let’s Send This Student to Overseas Training,' and stated, "I would be happy to provide support if Ajou University can be of help, and listen to great ideas that may be presented."


Superintendent Lee said, "As head teachers, principals should play the role of striking balances for everything at schools," adding, "Education should let students learn how they can live in harmony with others, like leaves become fertilizer after they fall."


Meanwhile, Ajou's Vice President of Admissions Jung Ju Choi presented competitive advantages of the University to the participants. He introduced some of the applicants who successfully entered the University, departments specializing in convergence, and the dual degree system, and explained admission procedures for the 2016 academic year.
