One additional high school will be established in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province.

According to Yongin City, Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, and Yongin Education Support Office on the 7th, the plan to establish 'Yongsin High School' (tentative name) was conditionally approved in a recent Ministry of Education review.

The school can be established if a commuting route accessible to students with disabilities is secured and commuting safety measures are implemented as suggested by the Ministry of Education's Investment Review Committee. Yongsin High School, aiming to open in March 2026, will be built on a 16,000㎡ site in Gorim Jindeok District, Gorim-dong, Cheoin-gu, Yongin City.

Currently, Yongin City is progressing with the establishment of ▲Goyu Elementary School and Goyu Middle School in Gorim-dong (both opening in March 2024) ▲Giheung 1 Middle School in Yeongdeok-dong ▲Wangsan 2 Elementary and Middle Integrated School in Mohyeon-eup ▲Agok 1 Elementary and Middle Integrated School in Namsa-eup (all opening in March 2025) ▲Yeoksam Elementary and Yeoksam Middle Schools ▲and Yongsin High School (opening in March 2026).

The city is also collaborating with the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education and Yongin Education Support Office to establish 'Semiconductor Meister High School' (tentative name) on the Baegam High School playground in Baegam-myeon, Cheoin-gu, and to restructure departments and build dormitories at Yongin Bio High School in Idong-eup.

The request to establish Semiconductor Meister High School was submitted to the Ministry of Education through the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education on the 28th of last month. The dormitory construction at Yongin Bio High School received a commitment of 8.5 billion KRW in funding support from Lim Tae-hee, Superintendent of Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education.

Mayor Lee Sang-il of Yongin met with Deputy Minister Jang Sang-yoon of the Ministry of Education to explain the need to change school establishment standards in response to changing times and proposed system improvements, leading to the revision of the 'Regulations on Financial Investment Project Review by Local Education Administrative Agencies.' This change in standards has turned on a green light for the establishment of a middle school in the Giheung Station area.

Mayor Lee stated, "Education is the most important driving force responsible for Yongin's future. Therefore, we will actively cooperate with the Ministry of Education, Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, and Yongin Education Support Office to expand educational infrastructure such as school establishment and improve the quality of educational content so that Yongin's students can grow into outstanding talents who will lead the future of the region and the country. As mayor, I will do my best."
