Gyeongnam Province and Education Office Launch Nationwide First 'Gyeongnam-Style School Space Innovation Model Project' in Full Swing

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] Gyeongsangnam-do and the Gyeongsangnam-do Office of Education announced on the 4th that they will actively promote the integrated administration project, the 'Gyeongnam-type School Space Innovation Model Construction Project,' targeting elementary and middle schools in the province.

Gyeongsangnam-do and the Office of Education launched the 'Integrated Education Promotion Team,' the first cooperative department for local autonomy and educational autonomy nationwide, in October last year, and are carrying out the project together with the newly established Education Innovation Promotion Team of the provincial Office of Education since January this year.

The 'Gyeongnam-type School Space Innovation Model Construction Project' is a project that restructures unused school spaces into school spaces that can be utilized together by students, teachers, parents, and local residents by sufficiently reflecting the opinions of schools and local communities.

Starting from the 4th of this month, applications for project plans from individual schools will be accepted, and target schools will be selected through a public contest. This project is based on 'user-participatory design,' which designs space by reflecting the needs of school members and local residents, and plans to innovate spaces focusing on easily accessible areas for local residents such as unused spaces on the first floor of schools, annex buildings, and outdoor spaces.

The 'Gyeongnam-type School Space Innovation Model Construction Project' will be conducted with a total budget of 4 billion KRW and will select and support about 15 elementary and middle schools.

Schools wishing to participate can autonomously plan projects such as 'community spaces, cultural and artistic spaces, and various educational activity spaces that can be used together by schools and local communities' and submit their applications by the 23rd of this month. Additionally, both organizations will hold a contest for brand naming that symbolizes this project to maximize promotion of its distinctiveness and leadership compared to other cities and provinces.
