At the Local Era Declaration Ceremony held on September 14, the basic direction of the Education Free Zone was announced, where local governments, education offices, universities, and companies cooperate to comprehensively support local public education development, nurturing of local talented individuals, and settlement.

Accordingly, this agreement was prepared as a preemptive measure to enhance the competitiveness of public education by mutually cooperating to establish excellent autonomous public high schools and boarding dormitories.

Starting with this agreement, the city plans to promote the Education Free Zone in cooperation with various local institutions such as the education office, universities, public institutions, and companies.

Once the agreement is signed, ▲ Busan City will provide administrative support such as urban planning changes for school establishment ▲ Sasang District will provide land for school establishment ▲ Busan Metropolitan Office of Education will cooperate in establishing autonomous public high schools and boarding middle schools.

Mayor Park Hyung-joon said, “One of the reasons for the concentration in the metropolitan area is that local talents enter metropolitan universities and then find jobs and settle in the metropolitan area, accelerating the outflow of talents from local areas and facing the crisis of disappearance.”

He added, “The goal is to nurture local talents through quality education and strengthen regional connections even at the university level to prevent talent outflow. Starting with this agreement, we will create a virtuous cycle structure that nurtures local talents through education and keeps them in the region.”
