Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju 'Education Information at a Glance' Lifelong Learning Portal Established

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City has officially opened the lifelong learning portal ‘Baeurangkke’ that gathers local education information in one place.

Gwangsan-gu announced that the lifelong learning portal ‘Baeurangkke’ completed a one-month pilot operation starting February 25 and officially began operation on the 25th of last month.

The lifelong learning portal was promoted to systematically and efficiently manage education programs for citizens within Gwangsan-gu.

‘Baeurangkke’ is a ‘one-stop’ platform that allows users to easily find desired programs and apply for courses.

The existing Gwangsan-gu lifelong education website had issues such as insufficient education information and no course application function, making learning management difficult and participation inconvenient.

Kim Sam-ho, Mayor of Gwangsan-gu, personally instructed the integrated management of citizen education programs and the preparation of efficient operation plans, and Gwangsan-gu embarked on developing a platform that can encompass all education information in the district.

The lifelong learning portal ‘Baeurangkke’, established in February, integrated courses from each institution.

Recently, 65 institutions including administrative welfare centers, libraries, welfare centers, and happiness learning centers have registered on the lifelong learning portal.

Additionally, 151 education programs and 204 instructors are also registered and actively operating.

Users can grasp education schedules, locations, content, and instructor information of courses at a glance by entering just one desired search term.

This eliminates the effort of visiting each institution’s website to obtain necessary education information.

Course applications can also be made immediately, enhancing convenience for program participation.

Within just over 20 days after the official opening, 1,191 residents registered as members.

There is also the advantage of being able to systematically manage shared learning spaces, education attendance records, and instructor activity histories.

Gwangsan-gu plans to continuously expand registered institutions and programs into the private sector and has set a goal to include more than 700 education programs on the lifelong learning portal.

Mayor Kim Sam-ho said, “The Gwangsan-gu lifelong learning portal will become a concentration of all education taking place in Gwangsan-gu,” and added, “We will strive to make it a tool that most conveniently satisfies citizens’ learning desires through good utilization.”
