Implementation of Bicycle Safety Education and Certification System... Seoul Metropolitan Government and Education Office Join Hands
Students in Seoul Receive Bicycle Safety Education and Driving Skills Assessment at School in One Go
Pilot Program Implemented in Over 40 Elementary Schools This Fall, Target Schools and Grades to Expand Gradually from Next Year
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 29th that it has signed a business agreement with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education to implement the ‘Bicycle Safety Education and Certification Program Visiting Schools.’
By linking safety education and certification programs in a one-stop manner at frontline schools, students are expected to receive bicycle education more conveniently. Earlier, Seoul introduced the ‘Bicycle Traffic Safety Education Certification Program’ in June to enhance the effectiveness of bicycle safety education and to foster a proper and safe bicycle usage culture.
Seoul plans to pilot the program in the second half of this year targeting 5th graders at about 40 elementary schools in the Seoul area, and from 2022 onwards, gradually expand the target schools and grades to include 5th and 6th graders at elementary schools throughout Seoul.
Meanwhile, to make it easier for middle and high school students to use Seoul’s public bicycle system, Ddareungi, rental stations will be installed inside and around about 200 middle and high schools. This is expected to promote bicycle use among students and improve commuting convenience.
