Busan Office of Education to Operate Integrated After-School Programs with 24 Local Institutions and Universities

The ‘Busan Jung-gu Sports Club’ and ‘Nakdong Comprehensive Social Welfare Center’ will be operated as the 23rd and 24th integrated after-school programs by the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education.

The integrated after-school program is an out-of-school after-school program first launched nationwide by the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education in 2017. It is operated in connection with local institutions, universities, and the community.

The program offers high-quality cultural, arts, and physical education programs that are difficult to establish at individual schools due to facility shortages and small class sizes, as well as various programs reflecting changing times and new student demands.

On the 4th at 3 p.m., the Busan Office of Education plans to sign an agreement with these institutions in the strategic meeting room of the education office and begin operating various programs.

Under this agreement, the ‘Busan Jung-gu Sports Club’ will operate the Jung-gu integrated after-school program for 11 elementary schools under the jurisdiction of the Western and Southern Education Support Offices, while the ‘Nakdong Comprehensive Social Welfare Center’ will operate the Nakdong integrated after-school program for 4 elementary schools under the Northern Education Support Office.

Both institutions will provide students with various programs such as kids speech, violin, creative math, climbing, tennis, and basketball using professional instructors. They will also offer services such as their own insurance enrollment and attendance notification services.

The Office of Education will support safety management expenses, including shuttle bus operation costs, to ensure students’ convenience and safety during transportation.

Ha Yun-su, Superintendent of the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, said, “Our Office of Education aims to provide diverse educational opportunities and balanced educational development through the operation of integrated after-school programs in cooperation with the local community,” adding, “We will continue to strive to nurture students as talents who grow their dreams and open the future.”
