Waterproofing Work on Misancho Rooftop and Bathroom Repair at Cheongok Middle School

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Min Hyung-bae, a member of the National Assembly (Democratic Party of Korea·Gwangsan-gu Eul, Gwangju), announced on the 5th that he secured a special grant of 874 million KRW from the Ministry of Education to improve the educational environment in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.

This special education grant includes ▲32 million KRW for waterproofing work on the roof of Misan Elementary School ▲54.4 million KRW for restroom repair work at Cheongok Middle School.

Misan Elementary School urgently needs repair work as rainwater is seeping through the classroom ceilings and walls due to the aging of the school building, causing significant disruption to students' learning activities.

With this special grant, waterproofing work will be carried out on the 2,340㎡ rooftop by the end of next year.

Cheongok Middle School has not undergone any restroom repairs since its opening in 2001, resulting in severe toilet leaks and urgent need for renovation of floors and washbasins. The repair of the male and female restrooms on four floors of the rear building is expected to transform the environment into a more pleasant one.

Along with this special education grant, Assemblyman Min secured a total of 2.874 billion KRW in national funds in the second half of this year, including 1 billion KRW for the installation of a soundproof tunnel (2nd Ring Road) in Sinchang·Singaji District in August, 600 million KRW for sewer repair work in Hanam Industrial Complex, and 400 million KRW for the Cheomdan Dullegil landscape improvement project from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s special grants.

Assemblyman Min said, “It is the role of politics to create safe and comfortable educational conditions so that our students can study without inconvenience,” and added, “I will do my best to improve the educational environment through securing more national funds in the future, as well as to alleviate overcrowding in elementary schools in Suwan District.”

Meanwhile, at the end of August, Assemblyman Min facilitated the installation of speed warning system signs in school zones of seven schools including Cheomdan, Wolbong, Bia, Pungyeong, Sumun, Keunbyeol Elementary Schools, and Goshil Middle School.
