Daegu Seo-gu and Nam-gu Education Environment Is Inadequate... Educational Gap Revealed in City Council Research Report
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] The educational environments in Suseong-gu and Dalseo-gu in Daegu were found to be better compared to Seo-gu and Nam-gu. Recent research revealed that the educational gap in the Daegu area is in an imbalanced state.
The Daegu Metropolitan Council's Daegu Policy Future Forum announced the results of a policy research project titled "Research on Measures to Resolve Regional Imbalance Due to Educational Gaps by District and County" on the 3rd.
Led by Councilor Yoon Young-ae, the research was conducted over three months from September to November last year. Through a secondary analysis based on survey results from parents and education officials as well as existing data, the study concluded that new policies are necessary.
According to the report, an analysis of educational environment factors such as the number of private academies, private education expenditure, and average monthly household income in eight districts and counties within the region showed that Suseong-gu and Dalseo-gu had no insufficient indicators.
On the other hand, Seo-gu and Nam-gu had the most insufficient indicators among the eight districts and counties, illustrating a case where differences in regional economic power are leading to educational disparities.
