Chief Korea emphasized that welfare should comprise a set of programs that should not only support the burial services but also satisfy their needs, as well as provide the capacity to fulfill desired goals.

He noted welfare package should be implemented with the aim of building teacher behavior that promotes commitment to work and enhances personal advancement.
