Gwangju Seobu Office of Education Completes Preparation for Operating 'School Violence Review Room' in Jurisdiction

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education Western Support Office (Education Director Lee Young-joo) announced on the 22nd that it will operate the School Violence Deliberation Room installed in the Gwangju School Facility Support Group starting from the 23rd.

The Gwangju Western Office of Education publicly recruited school violence countermeasure deliberation committee members for the first time nationwide in January, and held a capacity-building workshop for the committee members and the first deliberation committee meeting in March.

By completing two months of remodeling work on two School Violence Deliberation Rooms, two waiting rooms, and one office, all preparations for school violence deliberation have been completed.

When violence incidents occur in about 200 schools in the jurisdiction, the School Violence Deliberation Room deliberates on protection measures for victim students, guidance methods for perpetrator students, and whether to impose disciplinary actions. It also handles school violence prevention and countermeasures such as dispute mediation between victim and perpetrator students.

Education Director Lee Young-joo said, “Staff in charge must do their best to fairly and objectively deliberate on school violence issues to restore and resolve the educational functions of schools.”

Meanwhile, since the 1st, the deliberation on school violence in schools under the Western Office of Education has been handled by the School Violence Deliberation Team of the Democratic Citizenship Education Support Division, consisting of supervisors, administrative officers, and counseling teachers.
