According to the agreement, the Gyeongnam Office of Education will proceed with construction for Gubong Elementary School on the remaining site of the current Gimhae Construction Technical High School, and the city will support various administrative procedures and facilities related to the relocation and educational facilities.

Superintendent Park Jong-hoon said, “Through the successful completion of the Gaya History Restoration Project, we expect Gubong Elementary School to become a model small urban school with the country's only school museum and various historical and cultural experience conditions.”

Mayor Heo Seong-gon of Gimhae said, “I thank Superintendent Park Jong-hoon and the parents of Gubong Elementary School for making the great decision to relocate and establish the educational facility,” adding, “We will do our best to inherit and develop Gaya's historical and cultural heritage so that Gubong Elementary students and citizens can take pride.”
