The district designated 19 schools with the highest evaluation scores and 6 schools that were last year’s top and excellent schools, including Dogok, Doseong, Eonbuk, Wangbuk, Daechi Elementary Schools, and Daemyeong Middle School.

According to each school’s operation plan, they will continue hands-on educational activities to learn about the Earth’s ecosystem endangered by climate change, explore ways to reduce greenhouse gases in daily life, and utilize renewable energy.
