Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education will provide 2.5 billion KRW to schools in the province for the purchase of experiential safety education equipment.

The support targets 500 elementary, middle, high, and special schools in the province, with 5 million KRW allocated per school.

Supported schools can use the funds to purchase CPR mannequins, educational automated external defibrillators, educational fire extinguishers, traffic safety equipment, and more, which can be utilized during curricular and extracurricular activities.

Ha Deok-ho, Director of School Safety at the Provincial Office of Education, emphasized, "We will support the activation of safety education at school sites through practice- and experience-centered education rather than theory, and by encouraging participation from parents and the local community, we aim to spread a culture of safety."

Meanwhile, since 2014, the Provincial Office of Education has been supporting schools with funds to purchase experiential equipment in seven standard safety education areas to promote practice- and experience-centered safety education: daily safety, traffic safety, violence prevention and personal protection, drug and cyber addiction prevention, disaster safety, occupational safety, and emergency treatment. The total amount supported by the office up to last year is 10.84 billion KRW.
