[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongnam Provincial Council member Sim Sang-dong is actively working as the chairman of the Jinhae Middle and Girls' Middle School Integration and Relocation Promotion Committee.

On the 18th, Council member Sim Sang-dong hosted a meeting between Jinhae Middle School, Jinhae Girls' Middle School, and the Office of Education regarding the school relocation, and visited the site to listen to the opinions of residents and parents.

Since their establishment in 1951, Jinhae Middle School and Jinhae Girls' Middle School have faced deteriorating educational environments due to aging facilities, highlighting the need for improvements. Additionally, declining student numbers and the concentration of student preferences in nearby schools have caused difficulties in operating the curriculum.

In 2017, the schools were confirmed as targets for integration and relocation. The Office of Education initially planned to use the old Army University site, a long-standing wish of the local community, and only the final review remains.

In response, Council member Sim urged both schools to become a place where future dreams can be realized within the Jinhae Research Complex, which can be called Korea's future Silicon Valley.

Furthermore, Council member Sim personally inspected the new school site and visited complaint sites within the research complex, requesting officials from Jinhae District Office and redevelopment construction authorities to "minimize inconvenience to original residents and ensure development that allows mutual coexistence."
