His Majesty the King's concept of education involves the roles and duties of educators, or teachers. In his view, educators are obliged to "make good learners" so that they are able to earn their livelihood and be able to contribute to the country. In his royal address on 25 September 1978, His Majesty outlined the method to make good learners:
Give them good academic knowledge, accurate and solid, so that they are able and have principles in their practical work.
Train them mentally and morally, so that they know how to use reasoning and take responsibility for their actions, and that they do not abuse their knowledge by taking advantage of others.
Make them strong and healthy, physically and mentally.
Apart from mentioning the roles and the importance of teachers in education, His Majesty the King maintains that teachers must be knowledgeable both on the subject to be taught and the use of teaching methods. They must also uphold high moral standards. A royal address to teachers and students of the Klaikangwon Palace School on 17 June 1981 clearly reflected this concept:
For a teacher, it is important to conduct oneself well: first, to be truly respected and trustworthy, and second, to constantly train oneself, so as to be well-versed in the subject and the teaching method, and be able to pass on the knowledge to students with clarity and accuracy.
