The construction project for the Eastern Region Student Safety Experience Education Center will proceed from this year through 2023, with a total budget of approximately 29 billion KRW.

The education center will be equipped with experiential facilities designed to help kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school students develop the ability to respond to various types of disasters and safety accidents.

Superintendent Park said, “To enhance disaster response capabilities, repetitive safety experience education is important,” adding, “We will do our best to build the Safety Experience Education Center by developing and spreading experiential programs that reflect life development stages and by gathering diverse opinions.”

Mayor Na stated, “Through experience-centered safety education, we will establish a culture of disaster prevention in daily life and contribute to improving disaster response capabilities,” and added, “We expect students’ ability to cope with various situations threatening life and safety to increase.”
