[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) is recruiting the 9th class of new students for the Gwanak Creative Arts Gifted Education Center (Director Cha Dong-ha), conducted as part of the Seoul National University-Gwanak-gu academic-government cooperation project.

The Gwanak Creative Arts Gifted Education Center, in collaboration with Seoul National University College of Fine Arts (Dean Kim Sung-hee), operates an arts gifted education program aimed at nurturing talents who possess creativity and character, including imagination, creativity, problem recognition skills, consideration necessary for cooperative learning, and teamwork.

All educational programs are free of charge and will provide integrated arts education based on fine arts, including humanities, science, and history, on Saturdays and during school vacations from May to October.

Classes will be conducted via non-face-to-face Zoom sessions due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

The recruitment target is 45 elementary school students in grades 4 to 6 residing in Gwanak-gu (9 spots reserved for socially disadvantaged groups). Thirty students will be newly recruited for the basic class, and 15 students will be reselected for the advanced class from the 8th class graduates of 2020.

Applications are accepted until the 26th via registered mail (valid if arrived by the deadline) to prevent the spread of COVID-19. On-site applications are only possible on the 26th.

The selection process includes the announcement of the first document screening results on April 9, the second screening (practical evaluation and in-depth interview) on April 17, and the final successful candidates will be announced on April 26.

For more details, inquiries can be made to the Gwanak-gu Education Support Division or the Seoul National University Gwanak Creative Arts Gifted Education Center.

Mayor Park Jun-hee stated, “The Gwanak Creative Arts Gifted Education Center provides unique education that integrates other fields centered on fine arts, not just simple art education. It offers opportunities for students to express their creativity and infinite potential, such as holding student art exhibitions before graduation,” adding, “We will continue to do our best to operate specialized arts education programs utilizing Seoul National University’s excellent human and material resources and provide opportunities for students to grow into creative arts talents.”
