Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education Conducts '2023 Eulji Exercise'

The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education is conducting the '2023 Eulji Exercise' until the 24th.

The Eulji Exercise is a joint government drill involving civilians, military, and government agencies to prepare for emergency situations similar to wartime. Since 2017, the exercise had been scaled down due to domestic and international circumstances and the impact of COVID-19, but starting last year, it has been conducted with the participation of all staff at the headquarters and education support offices.

On the 23rd, Superintendent Kim Dae-jung visited the Jangseong Education Support Office to inspect the Eulji Exercise situation, and in the afternoon, he plans to observe the nationwide civil defense evacuation drill at Jangseong Seosam Elementary School.

This year’s Eulji Exercise is being conducted with a focus on recognizing the importance of crisis management in daily life and protecting students and maintaining the functions of the education office in the event of an emergency, especially as the Russia-Ukraine war continues.

During the Eulji Exercise period, the Provincial Office of Education operates a day-and-night wartime comprehensive situation room and conducts tabletop exercises and actual drills. Additionally, discussion drills related to wartime academic operation measures and wartime psychological counseling plans are carried out.

Superintendent Kim said, “The Eulji Exercise is intended to develop effective crisis response capabilities not only against military threats but also from the perspective of comprehensive security to prepare for various disasters,” and added, “I ask all related agencies to cooperate organically and do their best to ensure student safety and continuous class operation during emergencies.”
