This meeting was held under the slogan "A Happy Neulbom School Where Anyone Can Participate Anytime, Anywhere," sharing the current status of Neulbom School operations and future plans, and discussing cooperation methods between schools and education support offices.

Neulbom School, newly renamed this year from "Full-day Elementary Education," is one of the national policy tasks that provides high-quality education and care services to students who wish to participate by utilizing various educational resources inside and outside the school.

In a Ministry of Education contest, the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education was selected as a pilot education office for Neulbom School operations this year.

Considering regional characteristics, the office plans to operate Jeonnam Neulbom Schools divided into urban and rural types. The urban type focuses on enhanced care education, while the rural type centers on specialized programs to bridge academic achievement gaps.

For this year, Mokpo, Yeosu, and Suncheon were selected as pilot education support offices for the urban type, and Haenam for the rural type.

The selected education support offices operate ▲Grade 1 EduCare ▲Future-oriented Programs ▲Jeonnam Specialized Programs, providing customized education to address academic achievement gaps.

Kim Jae-gi, Director of the Safety and Welfare Division, stated, "Jeonnam Neulbom School is recognized as the best implemented nationwide due to its diverse customized specialized programs," and added, "We hope that the operation of Neulbom School will realize a great transformation in Jeonnam education."
