Direction of education policy
In his press conference, he emphasized the need for a "thorough overhaul of current education policies" and outlined his reform vision. One of his key pledges is the establishment of a "Seoul Education Plus Committee," which would bring together students, teachers, parents, and communities at the local school board level. This is being touted as a long-term, comprehensive approach to addressing the many challenges facing the existing education system.
The need for progressives to unite
Candidate unity within the progressive camp has been an important variable in past Seoul chancellor elections. Historically, candidates have often won elections when they are unified. Therefore, unity of the party is significant in creating an opportunity for the progressive camp to showcase its unified strength. (See also:The Korea Times)
