Songpa-gu Supports Creation of New Concept Learning Space 'Samsam O O Hakseupteo'

Support for Improvement of 'Safe Keeper Spaces' and Creation of 'Samsam O O Learning Centers'

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) is supporting educational expenses for the 'Samsam O O Learning Spaces and Safety Keeper Spaces' project, which improves standardized school spaces into forms desired by school members, such as creative learning spaces.

Songpa-gu, which is establishing its own education support system called ‘Songpa Saem’ in the local community, initiated this project to actively respond to the rapidly changing educational environment, where non-face-to-face classes have become routine and discussion-based education is required.

'Samsam O O Learning Spaces' are spaces that break away from the traditional classroom format to realize various educational needs and enable small-scale individual learning activities. The goal is to create creative and flexible complex spaces that students want to visit every day.

'Safety Keeper Spaces' is a project to improve poor working conditions for school security personnel, who are responsible for student safety.

Songpa-gu completed the review of schools at all levels in the region last April and plans to support 3.4 billion KRW to 34 schools, with up to 50 million KRW per school.

3.5 billion KRW will be allocated for creating Samsam O O Learning Spaces, and 1 billion KRW for improving Safety Keeper Spaces. Sixteen elementary schools, twelve middle schools, and five high schools were selected.

The review was conducted objectively based on criteria such as ▲open educational spaces for fostering creativity and character ▲studio-type spaces capable of real-time remote education ▲utilization of spaces within schools such as music rooms and science labs ▲appropriateness of budget applications, and necessity of space creation.

Mayor Park Seong-su stated, “A new standard for educational spaces is needed to meet the demands of the times,” and added, “We will do our best to transform these new spaces into places where students and staff want to stay, learning the value of collaboration through discussions together.”
