Gyeonggi Irum School Contest Announcement Poster

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education is accepting applications for 'Gyeonggi Irum School,' a type of Gyeonggi Shared School.

Gyeonggi Irum School is an out-of-school educational activity that connects resources inside and outside the school to support students' challenges and growth, including challenge-type, growth-type, and creative-type programs.

The challenge-type is a student-led project where students independently explore and practice. Any student residing in the province from 5th grade in elementary school to 3rd grade in high school, or out-of-school youth of the same age group, can participate.

Applications can be submitted through the Gyeonggi Education Moa website. Without a separate selection process, participants choose a topic of interest starting from the 31st, and lead the exploration and practice from planning to execution and reflection.

The growth-type involves educational activities inside and outside the school operated by individuals, non-profit organizations, and corporations reflecting student needs.

The creative-type is an out-of-school educational activity operated by individuals, companies, institutions, and universities to cultivate specialized and advanced future competencies, with topics such as entrepreneurship, digital technology, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Applications for the growth-type and creative-type can be submitted on the Gyeonggi Irum School website from the 7th to the 20th of this month. The selection results will be announced on the website at the end of August. Selected growth-type and creative-type programs will recruit students from September and operate until December.

Kim Hee-jung, head of the Regional Education Cooperation Division at the Provincial Office of Education, said, "Gyeonggi Irum School will be an opportunity for the community, schools, universities, and institutions to collaborate and help students find what they want to do and what they are good at." She added, "Starting with Gyeonggi Irum School, we will continuously expand Gyeonggi Shared Schools so that students can find their own path through new challenges and grow well as masters of their lives."
