[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Elementary school students will receive traffic safety education by analyzing traffic accidents around schools using the 'Children Traffic Accident Analysis System.'


On the 3rd, the Ministry of Education, the National Police Agency, and the Korea Road Traffic Authority announced that they will strengthen traffic safety policies for commuting routes and enhance school safety education by utilizing the Children Traffic Accident Analysis System.


The Children Traffic Accident Analysis System (Children TAAS) is a program restructured from the existing traffic accident analysis system to be easily accessible and usable by elementary school students.


Students can check what traffic accidents have occurred around their school, designate hazardous areas themselves, create traffic safety maps, and learn about safety on their way to and from school.

The Ministry of Education is promoting safety map-making club activities where students identify and mark safety hazards inside and outside school and develop improvement plans, as well as a Safe School Contest open to the entire public.


They support safety education and creative experiential activities using the Children Traffic Accident Analysis System and plan to distribute related user manuals through the School Safety Information Center.


Additionally, they will collaborate with the National Police Agency and the Korea Road Traffic Authority to promote projects such as focused guidance on safe school commuting routes using the Children Traffic Accident Analysis System and support for operating child protection zones.



Kim Byung-gyu, Director of the Education Safety Information Bureau at the Ministry of Education, said, "We will continuously strive to prevent school safety accidents and build a traffic safety ecosystem for children through various efforts, including utilizing the Children Traffic Accident Analysis System, inter-agency collaboration, and gathering opinions from field education officials."
