[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 9th that it will officially operate Yeongam Girls' High School, designated as the first public-private partnership private school.

The public-private partnership private school is a core project among the 13 tasks of the "Plan to Strengthen the Publicness and Accountability of Private Schools" announced by the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education. Two or more directors recommended by the Office of Education are appointed as directors of the school corporation, and the Office of Education approved two directors on this day.

The newly appointed directors will serve as members of the board of directors of the Donga Academy school corporation for a four-year term, performing duties to strengthen the publicness and accountability of private schools and to ensure sound school management.

The Office of Education plans to significantly expand financial support over the next four years by reducing investment for large-scale facility projects and providing additional school operating expenses.

Kim Pyeong-hoon, Director of the Administration Bureau, said, "I would like to thank the chairman of Donga Academy, who courageously joined the public-private partnership private school system, as well as the corporation officials and faculty members," adding, "We will continue to make efforts so that many private schools can participate and implement private school policies that can be trusted by the residents."
