[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] The Gyeongbuk Office of Education successfully completed the ‘50-Day Intensive Student Safety Inspection’ conducted over 50 days starting from May 18.


The ‘50-Day Intensive Student Safety Inspection’ was promoted by forming a ‘Student Safety Field Inspection Team’ led by the Deputy Superintendent to support the full resumption of normal school attendance and educational activities at all schools.


This inspection focused on three areas closely related to school life: ▲school quarantine and meal hygiene safety ▲educational activity safety ▲educational facility safety, targeting a total of 210 kindergartens, elementary, middle, high, and special schools across the province.


The main inspection contents of the three focused areas are

In the ‘school quarantine and meal hygiene safety’ area: ▲whether each school has established its own quarantine plan ▲contact management status ▲hygiene management of meal facilities and cooking processes ▲prevention management of food poisoning, etc.


In the ‘educational activity safety’ area: ▲safety management of experiential learning such as school trips ▲prevention and response to school violence (including sexual violence), etc.


In the ‘school facility safety’ area: ▲commuting safety management (prevention of traffic accidents, prevention of crime during arrival and dismissal) ▲inspection of school buildings and facilities ▲safety management of construction sites inside and outside schools ▲prevention and response to dormitory fires ▲science lab safety management ▲response to natural disasters, etc.


During this intensive inspection, the ‘Student Safety Field Inspection Team’ used safety checklists by area to conduct thorough inspections and guided immediate correction on-site for vulnerable parts that could be addressed immediately.


To improve the vulnerable areas identified through the intensive inspection, support measures will be prepared in cooperation with related organizations such as the Ministry of Education and Education Support Offices, and the opinions and suggestions of parents and school officials on-site will be actively reviewed and reflected.


The Gyeongbuk Office of Education plans to continuously develop this ‘50-Day Intensive Student Safety Inspection’ by linking it with the existing ‘Comprehensive School Safety Inspection for New Semester Preparation’ to ensure it does not become a one-time event.



Deputy Superintendent Song Gidong said, “I hope this intensive inspection will strengthen student safety and become an opportunity for parents to trust schools more. We will continue to do our best to provide a safe and comfortable educational environment through student safety inspections and listening to field opinions.”
