대통령실이 16일 "방과 후 돌봄프로그램 '늘봄학교'를 올 2학기부터 전국 모든 초등학교로 확대 시행한다는 목표를 무난히 달성할 것"이라고 밝혔다.
장상윤 대통령실 사회수석은 이날 오후 용산 대통령실 브리핑에서 "1학기 첫걸음을 뗀 늘봄학교가 현장서 호응을 얻으며 점차 안착해 가고 있다"며 이같이 전하면서 현 운영 현황 및 추세를 소개했다.
한국교육개발원이 지난 5월 31일부터 2주간 1학기 늘봄학교 운영학교 학생 417명·학부모 1천51명을 대상으로 상반기 늘봄학교 운영 관련한 온라인 설문 조사 결과 학부모 82.1%가 만족한다 답했고, 학생 만족도 경우 87.6%로 더 높게 나타났다.
장 수석은 "교육개발원 조사와 별도로 각 시·도교육청이 자체 실시한 학부모 만족도 조사에서도 만족도가 최고 98.7% 최저 83.4%였다"며 "늘봄학교는 일자리 창출과 기관 간 협업에도 긍정 효과를 나타내고 있다"고 전했다.
그러면서 "늘봄학교를 통해 기간제 교원 2천275명 실무 인력 3천500여명 늘봄학교 강사 1만4천여명 등 일자리 2만개가 올 1학기에 창출됐다"며 "현 추세·준비 현황을 볼 때 2학기부터 전국 모든 초등학교로 늘봄학교를 확산한다는 목표도 무난히 달성 가능하다 예상한다"고 밝혔다.
또 "늘봄학교는 윤석열 정부 교육개혁 핵심 과제 중 하나"라며 "그동안 온전히 부모 책임이었던 아이 돌봄·교육을 이제 국가가 책임지는 '퍼블릭케어' 체계를 확립코자 하는 핵심 정책"이라고 강조했다.
더불어 "상반기 늘봄학교 현장 호응을 확인한 만큼 전국 확대·안착을 위해 나아가겠다"며 "필요한 정책 지원·재정 투자를 통해 반드시 제대로 안착하도록 최선을 다하겠다"고 덧붙였다.
그간 윤석열 대통령은 민생토론회·중앙지방협력회의·늘봄학교 범부처지원본부 회의·4차례 현장방문 등을 통해 늘봄학교 현황 점검 및 추진을 독려해 왔다.
