Haenam-gun is actively expanding the revitalization of small schools such as Jeonnam agricultural and fishing village study programs to respond to the crisis of regional extinction and secure a sustainable regional coexistence model.

Following the successful promotion in Bukil-myeon, where 98 residents including students moved in, this year it plans to expand to Hyunsan and Gyegok-myeon.

In particular, Haenam-gun is helping new residents settle stably in the community by supporting vacant house repairs and job linkage for incoming households.

This agreement ceremony was prepared to discover and promote tasks in the job sector, which is the most essential for the successful promotion of saving small schools.

In addition, the Mokpo Employment and Labor Office agreed to actively cooperate in providing jobs for parents, supporting employment through participation in the national employment system, and supporting companies to create jobs within the region to save small schools.

They also recognized that population inflow and settlement are urgent local issues and agreed to work together to support employment for returnees to farming and rural areas.

Meanwhile, through saving small schools, 26 households totaling 98 people have moved to Bukil-myeon in Haenam-gun, and 8 households totaling 29 people plan to move to Hyunsan and Gyegok-myeon in time for the new school semester in March.
