[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Gwangju Western Office of Education launched the ‘2020 Seobu Burumi’ to provide rapid response and expanded support for school violence and students in crisis.

‘Seobu Burumi’ is operated with one team each for elementary and secondary levels, led by Park Joo-jung, former principal of Jeonnam Technical High School.

Yoo Jung-jong (principal of Sanwol Elementary School), the elementary team leader, and Kim Hyo-jung (principal of Suwan Middle School), the secondary team leader, along with 18 consulting members including teachers with extensive experience in student life guidance, lawyers, professional counselors, and counselors, have been appointed to begin full-scale activities.

Since its establishment in 2017, ‘Seobu Burumi’ has been providing on-site customized consulting, emergency dispatch, and life education support for school violence and crisis situations occurring in elementary, middle, and high schools within the jurisdiction.

It quickly supports schools in difficulty and helps with practical problem-solving.
