The detailed guidance and sincere warm welcome from the principals of the study abroad schools, farm parents, and the Damyang Office of Education reassured me, and I look forward to the rural study abroad life.”

Superintendent Kim Cheolju stated, “We will spare no support to further strengthen the educational competitiveness of small schools with diverse colors and scents to realize Damyang education that attracts and retains students,” and added, “As a partner for win-win cooperation among villages, schools, and local communities, we will do our best to accompany students in finding what they want to do and what they can do well.”
