[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Jang Hwikuk) announced on the 12th that it will conduct the "2020 Special Joint Inspection for Fine Dust Response" until the 31st of next month in preparation for the new semester.


This special inspection will be carried out mainly by the Fine Dust Response Self-Inspection Team (including senior public officials) and the Monitoring Team.


The purpose of this initiative is to protect the health of students and faculty by actively working to block fine dust before the new semester starts and to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection, thereby creating a pleasant educational environment.


A surprise joint inspection will be conducted on 120 schools selected by sampling among kindergartens, elementary, middle, high, and special schools in the Gwangju area.


The "Special Joint Inspection Team for Fine Dust Response" consists of 24 members, including 15 members of the Fine Dust Response Monitoring Team (Air-Keeper) and 9 members of the Self-Inspection Team.


The joint inspection team will focus on urging each school to carry out voluntary inspections based on the self-inspection checklist and will concentrate on inspecting the maintenance and management status of air purification devices in each school to guide the fine dust response situation.



Deputy Superintendent Oh Seunghyun said, "We will focus on managing and inspecting air purification devices in schools, led by the self-inspection team and monitoring team, which include senior public officials, not only to respond to the increasingly severe high-concentration fine dust but also to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection." He added, "If inspection personnel are insufficient, we will expand to related organizations such as parents, private organizations, and the Yeongsangang River Environment Management Office to jointly make every effort to protect students' health from fine dust in the new semester."
