Accordingly, the total number of subject-specialized schools under the Gyeongbuk Office of Education will increase to 12. Gumi High School will operate a humanities convergence curriculum, Andong Pungsan High School will focus on information, mathematics, and science convergence, and Pohang Dongseong High School will run a specialized curriculum centered on multiple career tracks.
The Gyeongbuk Office of Education will provide an initial preparation fund of 25 million KRW per school for facility expansion, training, promotion, and program planning for the newly designated schools. Additionally, it will support an operating budget of 40 million KRW annually for three years from 2021 to 2023.
