[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Park Ji-won, candidate for Mokpo City National Assembly (number 3, Minsheng Party), announced on the 10th that he will attract the Mokpo National University College of Medicine to Okam and Buju-dong, and establish special high schools such as Jeonnam Provincial Aviation High School and K-pop Specialized High School to create a premium education special zone.

Along with this, Candidate Park proposed tailored educational pledges such as establishing departments related to future strategic industries (tourism, seafood products, offshore wind power, ship repair and construction) at local universities, fostering after-school hub schools, and expanding the Together Care Centers.

He pointed out, “Candidate Kim Won, who merely played a supporting role at the Southeast region medical school attraction event, has an education pledge that is practically limited to ‘relocating a high school to Okam and Buju-dong to nurture it into a prestigious school,’” and criticized, “The ‘high school relocation’ proposed by Candidate Kim is unrealistic due to the risk of accelerating the hollowing out of the original downtown area and opposition from schools such as Mokpo Commercial High School and Muntai High School, which are mentioned as relocation targets.”

In particular, he emphasized, “Perhaps because Candidate Kim Won was a five-month policy advisor to the Minister of Education, his education pledges lack any expertise or depth and show a lack of understanding of Mokpo’s reality,” adding, “Attracting the Mokpo National University College of Medicine and fostering prestigious special high schools that align with new trends require a powerful National Assembly member with experience and wisdom.”
