[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] The Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education has selected target schools for four types of specialized high school innovation support projects through a public contest, aiming to enhance the attractiveness of specialized high schools by strengthening community connections.


The selection criteria included common indicators such as new student enrollment rate, dropout rate, and employment rate, while autonomous indicators such as project goals and implementation strategies, teachers' commitment, appropriateness of school conditions and educational content, and budget operation plans were reflected. Final selections were made through a review of project proposals.


The selected schools will carry out common projects including curriculum development, utilization of community resources, student career support, and self-esteem enhancement projects. Additionally, various distinctive projects will be implemented according to community conditions and school characteristics.


The Provincial Office of Education selected 16 schools in 2020, 22 schools in 2021, and this year selected 35 schools, allocating a total project budget of approximately 5.5 billion KRW, including about 3.9 billion KRW from its own budget and special grants from the Ministry of Education, distributed differentially according to school size and department characteristics.



Kim Jeonghan, Director of the Creative Talent Division, stated, “To enhance the brand capability of Gyeongbuk vocational high schools’ vision of ‘Gyeongbuk vocational education guaranteeing a better tomorrow,’ we will actively support the efficient operation of the specialized high school innovation support project.”
