Yangcheon-gu, 'Bag Volunteer Group' Composed of Local Community and Parents Conducts School Disinfection

Sequential Implementation According to Each School's Schedule Before and After School Opening Starting on the 8th in Preparation for In-Person Classes

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) is launching the 'School Disinfection with Shared Value' project, also known as the ‘Gabang Project,’ starting on the 8th, involving parents to create a safe educational environment for students ahead of the school reopening.

The ‘Gabang Project’ forms a Gabang Volunteer Group composed of village love disinfection teams by neighborhood and voluntarily participating parents. This group thoroughly disinfects and sanitizes frequently touched and used facilities by students, such as classroom books, desks and chairs, door handles, and lockers, to establish a safe environment for in-person classes.

In April, the district conducted a demand survey among local schools for participation in the ‘Gabang Project’ and received applications from a total of 22 schools.

Accordingly, the Gabang Volunteer Groups organized by neighborhood and school will begin disinfection on the 8th at Gwangyeong High School and Gwangyeong Girls' High School, continuing according to each school's schedule before and after the reopening. All necessary disinfection supplies, including equipment, protective suits, masks, and gloves, will be fully supported by Yangcheon-gu.

Mayor Kim Soo-young stated, “Instead of leaving school disinfection solely to professional disinfection companies, we planned this project with the idea of ‘it takes a whole village to raise a child,’ an African proverb, encouraging various local entities to work together on meaningful tasks.” He added, “We will do our best to ensure that students and parents can focus on their studies with peace of mind.”
