[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju-si, Gyeongnam, has been designated as a lifelong learning city in the 2021 lifelong learning city re-designation evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Education.

The re-designation evaluation is an assessment system that determines the status by checking the achievements and operational status of lifelong learning cities. Since the city was first designated in 2007, it underwent the re-designation evaluation this time following the introduction of the system last year.

This year's evaluation target includes 61 city-level units under provincial jurisdiction among the 175 lifelong learning cities nationwide that have passed four years, and next year, 46 county-level units under provincial jurisdiction are scheduled to be evaluated.

The evaluation period covers three years from 2018 to 2020, and the assessment was conducted based on evaluation indicators such as the lifelong learning city promotion system, project operation, and project performance.

The city received high marks for establishing a mid- to long-term development plan to promote stable and long-term development of projects, expanding a dedicated lifelong learning organization to enhance its progressive status as a lifelong learning city, systematic support and operational efforts for learning clubs, and efforts for performance management of programs.

A city official stated, “We will do our best to develop as a sustainable lifelong learning city by reorganizing the lifelong learning system and building learning communities to further activate lifelong learning in the region.”
