[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The Ministry of Education and the School Safety Mutual Aid Association are hosting the "9th Safe School Contest" to raise social awareness about school safety.

The contest period is from the 17th to September 30th. Anyone interested in school safety, including students, faculty, and the general public, can participate. Since its inception in 2014, the contest has received a total of over 7,000 submissions.

The contest is divided into three categories: drawing student safety maps, creating original video content for student safety activities, and developing teaching and learning materials for student safety education. Submissions are accepted through the Safe School Contest website.

The student safety map drawing category involves identifying hazards in students' daily lives such as schools and commuting routes and creating maps proposing improvements. Groups of four or more, including students (and their supervising teachers) or the general public, can participate.

The student safety activity original video category involves creating short video content, between 15 to 60 seconds, promoting a culture of school safety. Groups of four or more, including students (and their supervising teachers) or the general public, can participate.

The student safety education teaching and learning materials category is for faculty members currently working at kindergartens, elementary, middle, or high schools to develop safety education materials that can be used during classes or homeroom periods. Individuals or groups can submit entries.

Submitted works will undergo public and expert fair evaluations, with results announced in October. According to the evaluation, the grand prize winners in each category will receive the Minister of Education Award and a cash prize of 1 million KRW, while the excellence and outstanding awards will receive the School Safety Mutual Aid Association Chairman's Award and cash prizes.

Award-winning works will be exhibited on a traveling basis at safety experience centers of metropolitan and provincial offices of education and posted on the School Safety Information Center website to be used as student safety education materials.
