Choi Chi-hyun, Gwangsan District Gwangju Preliminary Candidate, Welcomes Announcement of City Education Office Relocation

"An Opportunity for Gwangsan-gu to Become the Center of Education in Gwangju"

Choi Chi-hyun, a preliminary candidate for the National Assembly election in Gwangsan-gu (Eul), welcomed the announcement to build the new Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education building in Sinchang-dong, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju.

On the 3rd, Candidate Choi stated, "This will be an opportunity for Gwangsan-gu to become the center of education in Gwangju."

The day before, the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education announced plans to demolish the Sinchang-dong Education Civic Cooperation Promotion Center building and invest a budget of 122.2 billion won to construct the new office building on a 28,143㎡ site.

After establishing a basic plan for the relocation of the office, conducting feasibility studies, and financial investment reviews, the new Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education building is expected to be completed by 2028.

Candidate Choi said, "Unlike other local governments, Gwangsan-gu is an area that needs to resolve overcrowded classes, and having the Metropolitan Office of Education here will greatly help solve these issues," adding, "I will work to prepare related legislation so that educational policies nurturing future generations, such as the establishment of Gwangsan High School and the construction of a smart education system suitable for the Education Internationalization Special Zone, can be realized along with the construction of the new office."

Meanwhile, Candidate Choi proposed various educational policies for future generations, including "realizing a national responsibility childcare system to address low birth rates and improve childcare teachers' working conditions," presenting a model for educational development in Gwangsan-gu.
