Gyeonggi Office of Education to Fully Implement 'Neulbom School' in the Second Half of This Year

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education will integrate and reorganize the existing elementary after-school and care programs into the 'Neulbom School,' which will be fully implemented in the second half of this year.

On the 23rd, the Office announced plans to provide first-grade elementary students with tailored programs (2-hour free after-school programs), free after-school programs, and elementary care classrooms through Neulbom School.

To this end, the Office will operate 975 Neulbom Intensive Support Schools and 357 Selective Support Schools this year.

At Neulbom Intensive Support Schools, temporary teachers beyond the regular quota will be exclusively in charge of Neulbom tasks, while Selective Support Schools will receive support from the Neulbom Support Center at the Education Support Office.

Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education is holding a discussion to establish a complete model of Neulbom School in the second half of this year.

Based on 154 pilot schools operated last year, the Office plans to complete the Gyeonggi-type Neulbom School models tailored to school and regional characteristics, including ▲ school-centered type (overcrowded type), ▲ local government cooperation type, ▲ small school type (Neulbom Center dedicated type), and ▲ local resource utilization type.

Meanwhile, Lee Kyung-hee, the First Deputy Superintendent of the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, visited Buljeong Elementary School in Seongnam to inspect the progress of Neulbom School implementation and listen to on-site opinions.

At the visit, Deputy Superintendent Lee emphasized, "Starting with Neulbom Intensive Support Schools in March, meticulous preparation is necessary for full implementation in the second half of the year," and added, "We will prepare various measures considering the characteristics of the region and schools."
