Hwaseong-si Selected as an Excellent Institution for School Environment Improvement Cooperation Project

Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 3rd that it has been selected as an excellent institution in the basic local government 'School Environment Improvement' cooperative project organized by the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education.

The School Environment Improvement project is an initiative to provide a safe and comfortable learning environment for students in the area and realize educational welfare through systematic financial cooperation between local governments and the Office of Education. The project includes replacing school heating and cooling facilities, LED lighting replacement, waterproofing work, installation of sunshades, and classroom floor replacement.

The Provincial Office of Education evaluates and selects excellent institutions based on four indicators over the past two years: total support funds, support fund growth rate, support fund growth rate compared to the local government’s general account, and support funds per student.

Hwaseong City explained that it was selected as an excellent institution due to high evaluations in total support funds and support fund growth rate. The city supports 50% of the total project cost annually, and especially last year, it provided 10.1 billion KRW in city funds to 52 schools.

Jung Myung-geun, Mayor of Hwaseong City, said, "We will continue to make every effort to improve the educational environment in Hwaseong City and create happy schools for students through ongoing cooperation with the Office of Education."
