Gwangju Nambu Police Station Presents Gifts at Alternative School Graduation Ceremony

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] On the 22nd, the Gwangju Southern Police Station announced that three school police officers attended the graduation ceremony of an alternative school located in Seo-gu to offer congratulations and deliver gifts.

In particular, a letter of appreciation from the police chief was also presented to Teacher Choi, who played a significant role in the students' classes and life guidance.

The protagonist of this graduation ceremony, Kim (19), met the school police officers while being investigated at the police station two years ago due to delinquency. It was learned that he was struggling with school life while living with his disabled grandfather. Encouraged by the school police, he transferred to an alternative school, balancing part-time work and studies, passed the high school equivalency exam, and this year achieved the honor of being admitted to university through the regular admission process.

He was the first to inform the school police of his graduation ceremony, and in response, the school police prepared a congratulatory banner and a bouquet of flowers and visited the graduation venue.

He said, "I never thought I would pass the equivalency exam, graduate, and enter university, but thanks to the help of many teachers, I am proud to have come this far."

Park Soon-ja, head of the Women and Youth Division, said, "We will continue to identify and closely manage at-risk youth who are easily exposed to group behavior, curiosity-driven bicycle and motorcycle theft, and gambling through games during adolescence, and do our best to help them return to the right path and grow into healthy members of society."
