Ulsan Office of Education Seeks Customized School Violence Prevention Measures for Schools

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education has begun preparing customized school violence prevention measures by gathering opinions from the educational community.

On the 22nd, the Ulsan Office of Education held a "Roundtable Discussion with the Superintendent" at the Oesol Conference Room of the city education office.

About 60 participants, including students, teachers, and parents from the Ulsan area, attended the event. Prior to this, from the 8th to the 17th, pre-registration was accepted online from those wishing to participate in the roundtable discussion.

This roundtable discussion was organized to collect various opinions and policy proposals from the educational community to eradicate school violence together.

On the day of the roundtable, Superintendent Cheon Chang-su personally participated, listening to subgroup discussions and presentations of results.

The discussion was conducted by dividing into a basic topic and selected topics for each roundtable.

The basic topic was "Which perspective should be taken: retributive justice focusing on punishment of the perpetrator, or restorative justice focusing on the recovery of the victim?"

Participants debated selected topics such as the evaluation and improvement plans for the operation of the School Violence Zero Center, school violence prevention relationship improvement programs they wish to create, and solutions to school violence through student autonomy.

The subgroup discussion results shared various proposals from the field.

The proposed contents included revitalizing relationship- and recovery-centered life education in schools, preventing school violence through strengthening student autonomous activities, substantial parent education on handling school violence cases, development of experience-based programs, and support measures for teachers responsible for school violence.

Superintendent Cheon Chang-su said, "The most urgent task currently at school sites is the restoration of educational community in which students, teachers, and parents all participate as educational stakeholders," adding, "I hope that effective proposals to prevent school violence will be presented at today's discussion and that these proposals will serve as a foundation for establishing school violence prevention policies."

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education plans to reflect the results of this discussion in next year's school violence prevention plan.
