[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education is introducing the 'Advanced Safety Management System for Children's Play Facilities,' which allows safety management status to be checked via smartphone at all public and private kindergartens and school children's play facilities, becoming the first metropolitan and provincial office of education nationwide to do so.


This system involves attaching a QR code (NFC - Near Field Communication) containing safety management status information to the rules board of play facilities, introduced to enable students and parents to use play facilities with peace of mind.


The Gyeonggi Office of Education plans to invest 700 million KRW this year to attach QR codes containing information on 11,150 playground equipment to 3,346 rules boards at public and private kindergartens and school children's play facilities across the province by the first half of the year.


By scanning the QR code with a smartphone, users can check ▲ safety information for each equipment ▲ liability insurance information ▲ safety rules for each equipment ▲ hygiene management status of play facilities ▲ emergency response procedures in case of accidents.


The safety management status information of play facilities is updated once a month based on the results of self-safety inspections conducted monthly by kindergartens and schools. If students or parents discover safety issues on-site, they can call the contact number of the responsible school or education support office provided in the QR code information to report it.



Yoon Hyo, Director of Administration at the Gyeonggi Office of Education, emphasized, "With the introduction of the 'Advanced Safety Management System for Children's Play Facilities,' not only has the safety of children's playground equipment been secured, but systematic management and support of playground equipment have also become possible. We will continue to do our best in managing and supporting the system so that students and parents can use playground equipment in a safe environment."
