Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education, Emergency Restoration Improvements for School Facility Disaster Damage

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Jang Hwi-guk) announced on the 7th that it has established an emergency restoration plan for school facilities for the first time among the 17 city and provincial offices of education to minimize damage to school facilities caused by abnormal weather conditions every year.

The Gwangju Office of Education recently created a system that allows for emergency restoration by specialized companies in the shortest time to address issues such as damage to school facilities caused by localized heavy rains and slope erosion.

To enable immediate deployment of specialized companies in the event of a disaster, contracts are pre-arranged through bidding at the beginning of the year, and a system has been established to quickly dispatch specialized personnel to affected schools for emergency restoration and installation of safety facilities, ensuring thorough measures to minimize safety accidents.

Gwak Nam-gi, head of the Educational Facilities Division at the city office of education, said, "By operating the emergency restoration system for disasters and accidents that occur every year, we can minimize additional damage," adding, "We expect this to have a positive effect on students' safe learning activities."
