[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Pukyong National University (President Jang Young-soo) won the Grand Prize at the 18th National University Student Model Cabinet Meeting Competition hosted by the Korean Association for Public Administration (President Lee Won-hee).

The Pukyong National University Model Cabinet Meeting Preparation Committee, consisting of 20 students including Jeong Hae-yoon (22) from the Department of Public Administration (advising professor Lee Nam-guk), received the highest evaluation among participating teams at the recent competition held at Seoul National University Graduate School of Public Administration with the theme "Korean New Deal Policy, With Corona."

The National University Student Model Cabinet Meeting Competition is held annually for students majoring in public administration at universities to understand the deliberation and resolution process of the government's basic national plans and major policies through a model cabinet meeting, and to foster interest in government activities.

In this competition, Pukyong National University students were praised for their systematic approach to the Korean New Deal policy promoted by the government to overcome the dual challenges of severe economic recession caused by COVID-19 and structural transformation, as well as their innovative interpretations and alternative proposals as university students.

Due to the COVID-19 situation, they conducted rehearsals for the model cabinet meeting play using online video conferencing programs and adhered to quarantine guidelines while live streaming the model cabinet meeting on YouTube, which was also highly evaluated as an exemplary COVID-19 response.

Following Pukyong National University in this competition, Chung-Ang University won the Gold Prize with the theme "Social Conflicts Amid Prolonged COVID-19: Analysis and Measures," Soongsil University won the Silver Prize with the theme "Must Public Medical Schools Exist? - Exploring Various Measures to Expand Public Health Care," and Kyungsung University won the Bronze Prize with the theme "The Future of Our Personal Information?"

Pukyong National University has consistently achieved excellent results every year, including winning the Grand Prize in 2005 and 2011 at this competition.
