On the morning of the 11th, Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo District, attended the '2023 Mapo School Closing Ceremony' held at the Mapo Lifelong Learning Center.

Mapo School is a literacy education program that teaches Hangul to adults who missed learning opportunities. At the closing ceremony, about 80 people, including Mayor Park Gang-su, Honorary Principal Lee Seon-jae, and Mapo School instructors, gathered to celebrate the end of the term.

This year, a total of 64 students completed the beginner and intermediate basic elementary education courses at Mapo School. Before Mayor Park Gang-su presented the certificates of completion, a representative of the students read a thank-you letter, moving the instructors who had worked hard throughout the year to tears.

Throughout the year, Mapo District operated various programs through Mapo School, including basic Hangul, drawing, smartphone, kiosk, and singing classes. In particular, the students' poems and drawings were compiled into a poetry and art collection, adding joy and pride to their achievements.

In his congratulatory speech, Mayor Park Gang-su said, “Mapo School is not just a place to impart knowledge but a space where everyone grows together. I sincerely thank and congratulate the students for their passion, effort, and growth that have elevated the value of Mapo School.”
