Gyeonggi Office of Education Includes 'Education Support Offices' in School Asbestos Removal Efforts

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] From now on, the education support offices will also participate in asbestos removal and dismantling work at schools in Gyeonggi Province. This is a measure to reduce administrative tasks at school sites.

The Gyeonggi Office of Education announced on the 7th that starting with asbestos dismantling and removal work in the first half of this year, it will promote measures to improve the efficiency of asbestos projects and has changed the system so that the education support offices share the asbestos dismantling and removal work previously handled solely by schools.

Accordingly, from now on, the education support offices will be responsible for the overall asbestos construction work including contracts, document review, and execution, while schools will handle maintenance and management tasks such as moving, cleaning, and service execution.

The number of schools undergoing asbestos dismantling and removal work in the province is 10 in the first half and 206 in the second half, totaling 216 schools.

Kwon Soon-shin, Director of Facilities at the Gyeonggi Office of Education, said, "Through collaboration between schools and education support offices, we can reduce the burden on schools in carrying out asbestos dismantling and removal projects and improve work efficiency," adding, "We will create safe schools free from asbestos by providing field-centered support for asbestos dismantling and removal."
