Education Must Continue Even During a National Emergency

Gyeongnam Office of Education, 2022 Eulji Exercise Emergency Assembly Drill

Park Jong-hoon, Superintendent of Gyeongnam Office of Education, is presiding over the 2022 Eulji Exercise Emergency Countermeasures Meeting.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The Gyeongnam Office of Education will conduct the 2022 Eulji Exercise from 8 a.m. on the 22nd until the 25th.

The provincial Office of Education's Eulji Exercise begins with an emergency assembly drill involving employees from the headquarters and education support offices.

The Eulji Exercise is an annual nationwide emergency preparedness drill conducted to prepare for national emergencies such as war.

At the government level, it aims to protect the lives and property of citizens by reviewing emergency preparedness plans and confirming procedures for mission execution during wartime.

Last year, the exercise was scaled down to the Eulji Taeguk Exercise in conjunction with the Korean military's solo Taeguk Exercise, but this year, all public officials participate in connection with the South Korea-U.S. joint military exercises.

This year's Eulji Exercise focuses on mastering wartime transition procedures and responding to a total national mobilization.

In addition to wartime preparedness training, crisis response drills simulating large-scale complex disaster situations are also conducted simultaneously.

Superintendent Park Jong-hoon said, "Please participate with a sincere mindset to strengthen the capability to manage national crisis response and firmly establish wartime preparedness so that education can continue uninterrupted even if a sudden national emergency occurs."
