Damyang Office of Education Conducts 'School Violence OUT! COVID-19 OUT!' Campaign

‘Preventing School Violence Starts with You and Me!’ School Violence Prevention Campaign Launched

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Damyang Office of Education School Support Center announced on the 17th that it conducted a school violence prevention campaign titled "School Violence Prevention Starts with You and Me!" at Changpyeong Elementary School on the 16th to promote the importance of school violence prevention activities as students arrived at school.

The campaign was held at a time when interest in school violence is increasing due to recent Me Too incidents of school violence that started in the sports world and spread to the entertainment industry, aiming to raise students' awareness of school violence on their own.

This event was conducted while practicing social distancing appropriate to the COVID-19 situation, distributing antibacterial wet wipes with the message "School Violence OUT, COVID OUT" and a self-produced school violence response manual.

Kim Cheolju, the Superintendent of Education, said, "Victims of school violence carry the memories of difficult times as lifelong trauma, so prevention of school violence is important. In this sense, the campaign promoted to encourage students to take an interest in school violence prevention is very meaningful."

He added, "The Damyang Office of Education will spare no support for school violence prevention, so schools should also take an interest in preventing school violence and make active efforts so that this year can be a year without the need to hold the School Violence Countermeasure Deliberation Committee."
