[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education Western District Office (Superintendent Lee Youngju) announced on the 18th that it held the ‘2020 Academic Year 1st School Violence Countermeasure Deliberation Committee’ on the 17th, attended by about 40 school violence countermeasure committee members.

At this deliberation committee meeting, three agenda items were submitted for deliberation and resolution: ▲ Delegation of the deliberation and resolution authority of the committee to subcommittees ▲ Prevention and countermeasures of school violence ▲ Operation regulations (draft) of the School Violence Countermeasure Deliberation Committee.

In particular, by delegating the deliberation and resolution authority of the committee to six subcommittees, a foundation was established for the subcommittees to deliberate and resolve school violence issues upon the request of schools.

The committee deliberated on the Western District Office of Education’s ‘Prevention and Countermeasures of School Violence’ related to school safety, school violence prevention education, school principal’s self-resolution system, and protection of victimized students, and the committee members created conditions to practice substantial life education through active exchange of opinions.

Kim Youngwook, Director of Democratic Citizenship Education Support Division at the Western District Office of Education, said, “Despite concerns about COVID-19, most of the committee members attended the 1st School Violence Countermeasure Deliberation Committee with a heart to serve our children and Gwangju education,” and added, “It was a meaningful time in many ways as the school violence countermeasure committee members gathered to frankly discuss the submitted agenda items.”

Meanwhile, since the 1st of this month, deliberations on school violence cases within the jurisdiction of the Western District Office of Education have been conducted at the School Violence Deliberation Team Western Deliberation Room located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Gwangju School Facilities Support Group (Sinchang-dong, Gwangsan-gu).
