Damyang Village School with Diverse Colors and Scents Embarks on a Strong Voyage

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Damyang Office of Education announced that it held a council meeting on the 9th in the main conference room with representatives and activists of village schools after selecting 8 Damyang village schools based on the operation evaluation conducted over two days from the 18th to the 19th of last month.

The Damyang Office of Education has focused on operating a distinctive Damyang village school where the village education community embraces the school and education revitalizes the region again by securing continuity through the designation of one provincial-designated school and seven city-designated village schools in 2020, designating them for two consecutive years.

At this Damyang Village School Operators Council, to strengthen the substance of Damyang village schools in 2021, starting with the seed clubs in 2020, the council guided the overall operational directions including ▲establishing safe learning environments ▲supporting educational activities (project classes) conducted jointly by schools and villages ▲operating programs to learn about one’s hometown ▲supporting the capacity building of the village education community ▲budget allocation and execution, all created through solidarity with the village.

In particular, the meeting was conducted as a time to explore practical and feasible measures such as operating seed clubs for each village school, self-identity education to find oneself and learn about one’s hometown, school-village linked curriculum operation, and countermeasures for non-face-to-face situations.

Education Director Kim Cheolju expressed gratitude to Damyang County Office (County Governor Choi Hyongsik) for providing a budget of 60 million won to strengthen the substance of Damyang village schools and stated, “We will do our best to provide human and material support to solidify the village education community so that the village, school, and local community can walk together as partners in mutual cooperation.”
