Before presenting the agenda, Mayor Yoon Byung-tae, chairman of the foundation, expressed gratitude for the dedication and efforts of the directors retiring due to the end of their terms.

The foundation reviewed a total of eight items: the '2022 audit report and settlement plan,' 'plan for handling surplus and carryover funds,' 'establishment and operation plan for the Naju Future Education Support Center,' '1st supplementary budget proposal,' 'increase in basic assets and amendments to the articles of incorporation,' 'appointment of executives (directors),' 'amendment of articles of incorporation,' and 'comprehensive revision of regulations.'

The Naju Future Education Support Center, a key pledge in the education sector of the 8th popularly elected administration, is planned to be established within the foundation in May as an intermediary support organization for organic cooperation and communication between the city and the Office of Education.

The center will serve as a mediator to enable students to receive various educational demands beyond existing public education by linking and providing resources from former public institutions and various educational resources within the region.

The city plans to build an educational governance system involving the Office of Education, schools, parents, and experts to discover and promote diverse educational demands such as students' career paths, aptitudes, and experiential programs.

Additionally, the city intends to enhance the synergy of the center's operation through collaboration with the Career and Academic Counseling Center, scheduled to open next month by the Jeollanam-do Office of Education.

Chairman Yoon Byung-tae said, "I hope today's board meeting will serve as a foundation for realizing a premium education city and nurturing local talent, bringing together collective will," adding, "We will do our best to promote educational policies so that Naju, where education stands firm and attracts people for education, can become a bulwark against the crisis of population extinction."
