[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] The "Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education Student Postural Imbalance Prevention Education Support Ordinance," proposed by Lee Hong-il, a member of the Gwangju Metropolitan Council (Democratic Party, Dong-gu 1), has been approved by the relevant standing committee, the Education and Culture Committee.

The main contents of this ordinance include ▲ the superintendent's responsibility to establish policies for preventing student postural imbalance and maintaining correct posture ▲ the annual establishment and implementation of support plans for student postural imbalance prevention education ▲ conducting education and training ▲ development of programs and teaching materials.

Councilor Lee said, "With the increase in online classes in response to COVID-19, students spend more time in front of monitors, which can lead to various spinal disorders such as 'straight neck syndrome.' Through postural imbalance prevention education, we expect students to form proper lifestyle habits and achieve healthy growth through balanced physical development."
