Busan Office of Education Collaborates with Yeongdo-gu Agencies to Create Safe School Routes

On the morning of the 6th at 8:30 AM, the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education held the 'Agency Heads Relay Collaboration Proclamation Ceremony' at Cheongdong Elementary School in Yeongdo-gu to ensure the safety of school routes.

The proclamation ceremony was attended by Superintendent Ha Yun-su, Yeongdo-gu Mayor Kim Ki-jae, Lee Bong-seok, Chief of Security and Traffic Division of Yeongdo Police Station, Lee Jae-han, Director of the Western Education Support Office, and other officials.

This relay aims to raise awareness of school route safety among heads of institutions in Busan, such as local governments and police stations closely related to school route safety measures, to improve school routes safely. It is the second proclamation ceremony held following Nam-gu on March 8.

Before the proclamation ceremony, Superintendent Ha and the agency heads conducted a campaign to create safe school routes targeting vehicle drivers and students on the Cheongdong Elementary School school route.

They provided guidance on the 'Enforcement of the Revised Road Traffic Act,' 'Compliance with vehicle speed limits in school zones,' and 'Prohibition of illegal parking and stopping.'

After the campaign, the superintendent and agency heads carefully inspected the dangerous commuting path on the retaining wall adjacent to Cheongdong Elementary School and agreed to actively cooperate in resolving school route safety issues at all schools within Yeongdo-gu.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education expects that this collaboration will provide an opportunity to improve school routes in disadvantaged areas such as highland schools within Yeongdo-gu.

Ha Yun-su, Superintendent of Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, said, “Our education office’s cooperation with related agencies to secure school route safety is a good example of the saying, ‘It takes a whole village to raise a child.’ We will continue to actively cooperate with agency heads in the Busan area to improve the school commuting environment.”
