Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon) announced on the 29th that it has established the '2024 National Safety Education Implementation Plan' to prevent various disasters and safety accidents and to enhance residents' response capabilities. Safety education throughout the life cycle will be promoted across six major areas: daily safety, traffic safety, natural disaster safety, social infrastructure system safety, crime safety, and health safety.

Starting from May next year, the district will operate a 'Visiting Safety Classroom for Children and Adolescents' targeting infants, children, and teenagers. When childcare centers, kindergartens, elementary schools, and middle schools apply for education, safety instructors will visit directly to provide customized education tailored to each group, including traffic safety, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and fire prevention.

In the second half of the year, safety instructors will visit community centers, welfare centers, and senior citizen centers to conduct various educational programs such as disaster-specific response guidelines and self-defense training through the Residents' Daily Safety Classroom.

Experience-oriented safety education will also be expanded. Emergency first aid training will be held regularly 1 to 2 times a week at the public health center's emergency first aid training room for residents, office workers, and institutions. Additionally, advanced emergency first aid courses will be offered for legally mandated trainees such as health managers, teachers, and childcare teachers.

For preschool children and elementary students who are at high risk of traffic accidents, traffic safety education and bicycle training will be conducted starting in March. For middle and high school students who frequently use electric kickboards, a 'Visiting Personal Mobility Device Safety Classroom' will be held from May at each applying school.

Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon stated, "Systematic education and realistic training are the most important to protect residents from various disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes, as well as traffic accidents and fires." He added, "Next year, we will continue to prioritize residents' safety and do our best to create a safe and secure city in Gangseo where everyone can feel comfortable."
