Newly Established 'Gwangju Yesul Middle School' Name Confirmed... Opening in March 2022

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 25th that it has decided to keep the name of Gwangju Yesul Middle School (tentative name), which is being constructed on the site of the former Jeonnam Office of Education, and will officially open on March 1, 2022.

The Office of Education held the Gwangju Metropolitan City Public School Opening Deliberation Committee this year and decided the opening date of Gwangju Yesul Middle School accordingly.

The Gwangju Metropolitan City Public School Opening Deliberation Committee, composed of parents, city council members, and education office officials, confirmed the school name as "Gwangju Yesul Middle School" to maintain consistency in the school name, considering that Gwangju Yesul Middle School will be operated as an integrated school with Gwangju Yesul High School.

The Office of Education plans to prepare a partial amendment to the Gwangju Metropolitan City Public School Establishment Ordinance reflecting the decisions made by the Opening Deliberation Committee and submit it to the Gwangju Metropolitan City Council in April.

Song Young-seon, head of the Administrative Budget Division at the Office of Education, said, "With the opening of Gwangju Yesul Middle School, we have established a foundation to discover and nurture local artistic talents with cultural and artistic aptitudes at an early stage."
