Ulsan Office of Education Supports Sale of 5,565 Unused Information Devices from Schools in the First Half of the Year

Ulsan Office of Education.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Ulsan Gangbuk and Gangnam Education Support Offices' School Support Centers are assisting with the disposal and sale of obsolete IT equipment that schools can no longer use, collecting these devices and returning the proceeds back to the schools as revenue.

As a result of receiving sale support applications for obsolete IT equipment such as computer towers, monitors, laptops, and printers from schools during the first half of the year, 112 schools requested the sale of 5,565 units.

The center plans to collect the obsolete IT equipment by next month, and when disposing of them, will separate hard disk drives and perform complete formatting to prevent personal information leakage. The proceeds from sales through the Onbid public auction system will be returned to the respective schools to increase their income.

A school official stated, "It is not easy for schools to individually separate hard disks to prevent personal information leakage, and it is practically difficult to sell small quantities of obsolete items, so they have been left unattended for many years. This support is greatly helping reduce our workload."

Now in its third year of operation, the School Support Center runs projects to support the hiring of temporary teachers and manage a talent pool, lend smart devices for remote classes, manage children's playground environments, and assist with the sale of obsolete IT equipment to support schools on the ground.

Starting this year, new projects such as operating an online support system for after-school programs and inspecting illegal filming devices in school restrooms have also been launched.

A School Support Center official said, "Through support for the sale of obsolete IT equipment, we aim to manage school IT devices efficiently and reduce school workload with practical, field-centered support, while increasing satisfaction on site."
