Busan Gijang County Office.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The English education in Gijang-gun, Busan, where students had to wait due to a lack of classrooms, has been revitalized.

Gijang-gun plans to expand enrollment and operation from the spring semester of 2021 by adding classrooms to the Jeonggwan Hub English Center.

The Jeonggwan Hub English Center always had many students waiting because there were fewer classrooms available than the number of trainees. With this expansion, it will be possible to accommodate as many trainees as possible.

This expansion became possible with the extension of the Jeonggwan-eup Administrative Welfare Center building. Currently, the Jeonggwan Hub English Center operates 5 classrooms in the Jeonggwan-eup Administrative Welfare Center, but after the building extension is completed, 2 additional classrooms will be added, allowing operation of 7 classrooms.

Gijang-gun plans to operate flexibly with middle and adult classes as well as elementary classes to enhance the effectiveness of the center's operation.

The Hub English Centers are currently operating at Gijang Library, Gijang Comprehensive Social Welfare Center, Jeonggwan-eup Administrative Welfare Center, and Wolnae Welfare Hall. Practical English conversation classes with professional native instructors are held five days a week. Currently, classes are conducted online to prevent COVID-19, but will switch to face-to-face classes once the situation stabilizes.

A Gijang-gun official said, “We have been regretful that we could not accommodate all students who wanted to use the Hub English Centers,” and added, “With this expansion, we hope many students will enjoy learning and become global talents equipped with future core competencies.”
