A project to prevent school violence through cooperation among students, parents, and the education office is underway.

Busan Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 14th that it will operate a 'Parent Public Hearing' for school violence prevention at Dongnae Middle School and a 'School Violence Prevention Theme Festival' organized by the Dongnae High School Federation on the 16th.

The School Violence Prevention Theme Festival was planned voluntarily in March by students from six schools, including Dongnae High School, with support from the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education for the festival's operation.

Six high schools in the Dongnae area?Dongnae High School, Dongin High School, Jungang Girls' High School, Yongin High School, Chungnyeol High School, and Haksan Girls' High School?will participate in the theme festival.

Operated directly by students, the festival consists of various programs such as a school violence prevention OX quiz, sports games, problem-solving activities, crime scene simulations, and experience booths run jointly by students and related organizations.

In addition to the student festival, the Busan Education Office will also hold a 'Parent Public Hearing' where the educational stakeholders?students, parents, and schools (education office)?will seek solutions to prevent and eradicate school violence.

The Parent Public Hearing, themed 'School Violence Prevention and Response through Joint Reflection by the Educational Community,' is scheduled to take place in the audiovisual room of Dongnae Middle School on the same day. The hearing will be conducted both on-site and streamed online (via YouTube) simultaneously to gather more parental opinions.

The Busan School Violence Prevention and Recovery Mediation Center will oversee the overall management and operation of the event.

Kim Beom-gyu, Director of Character Education, Physical Education, and School Meals at the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, said, “The event is significant because it started voluntarily by students and is supported by the education office while being held together with the parent public hearing. We will continue to create various communication platforms where the educational community can reflect and participate together to eradicate school violence.”
