With the shortage of elementary and junior high school teachers becoming an issue, the Ministry of Finance announced at the Fiscal System Council, an advisory body to the Minister of Finance, on the 14th that it would introduce a new system, such as the exchange of human resources between the public and private sectors. I suggested.

At the meeting on the 14th, where the education-related budget was the topic of discussion, a Ministry of Finance official pointed out that the employment rate for public elementary school teachers had fallen from 12.5 times in 2000 to 2.5 times this year. , pointed out that securing high-quality human resources is a challenge.

On top of that, we will consider new mechanisms for the licensing system and hiring methods, such as introducing a system that allows human resources to move freely between the public and private

sectors



,

We proposed to include it in the requirements for subsidized projects for local governments.

In response to this, members of the committee expressed opinions calling for ▽

improving the quality of education by combining work style reform and IT technology, and

▽ considering expanding the route for people with business experience to become teachers. I generally agree with the proposal.

The Council will formally compile recommendations to the Minister of Finance at the end of this month in preparation for the draft budget for next fiscal year.
