[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] Hwacheon Elementary School in Geoncheon-eup, Gyeongju City, and Munseong Middle School in Goa-eup, Gumi City, will newly open.

The Gyeongbuk Office of Education announced on the 28th that it received final approval from the Ministry of Education on the 25th for the establishment of two new schools and will actively promote the school establishment this year.

Hwacheon Elementary School will be newly established in Hwacheon-ri, Geoncheon-eup, Gyeongju City, within the New Gyeongju Station development district, with a total of 52 classes including 48 general classes, 1 special class, and 3 kindergarten classes.

Geoncheon-eup is an area in Gyeongju where large-scale apartment developments have not occurred until now, and with the start of the New Gyeongju Station development, the establishment of an elementary school became urgently necessary.

Once opened, it is expected to greatly help alleviate the difficulties of long-distance commuting for students and parents residing in the apartment complexes within the New Gyeongju Station development district.

Munseong Middle School is planned to be newly established in Munseong-ri, Goa-eup, Gumi City, with a total of 25 classes including 1 special class.

Although the number of students expected to enter middle school in Goa-eup, Gumi City, continues to increase, there is only one middle school in Goa-eup, requiring students to commute over an hour to the city center. The new school is being established to resolve this difficulty.

Additionally, with the establishment of Munseong Middle School, a new middle school will be created in Goa-eup, allowing graduates from six elementary schools within the eup to advance to middle school locally.

The schools approved for establishment this time will proceed through administrative and financial procedures, with the respective education support offices formulating detailed establishment plans such as the scheduled opening date.

Choi Gyutae, Head of Administration, said, “We will support improving the difficult long-distance commuting and poor educational conditions caused by apartment developments so that students can receive education in a good environment.”
