Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has taken proactive measures to protect students' safety from violent crimes, including a series of stabbing incidents recently occurring at Sindorim Station, Seohyeon Station, and schools in Daedeok District, Daejeon.


On the morning of the 4th, Busan Office of Education held an emergency meeting chaired by Kim Jeong-tae, Director of Planning, with executives and staff from departments related to student safety and life education, such as the Student Safety General Division and Character, Physical Education, and Meal Service Division, to devise student safety measures.


They sent urgent text messages and official letters to school administrators at all levels, urging them to pay close attention to school safety management, including controlling access of outsiders to school premises.

In particular, regarding the fact that more than half of the suspects caught for posting 'murder threats' online were teenagers, they instructed students not to post similar crime threat messages out of curiosity or as a prank by imitating violent incidents.


Busan Police Agency requested the Busan Office of Education to inform school administrators, parents, and students about crime-related precautions in response to the nationwide simultaneous stabbing incidents and the posting of imitation crime threat messages in Seomyeon, Busan. The Office of Education and the Police Agency plan to continue close cooperation to ensure students' safety.



Ha Yun-su, Superintendent of Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, stated, "Our office prioritizes student safety and plans to conduct student life guidance and independent off-campus supervision." He added, "We will prevent student delinquency and various accidents through regular student counseling and management during school vacations."
