Busan Vocational Education Innovation District Selected as Excellent District in Ministry of Education Evaluation
Follow-up Project Operable Until 2026
The Only One Among Targets... 1.1 Billion Won Budget Support
Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has been selected as an excellent district for the Vocational Education Innovation District and will receive approximately 1.1 billion KRW in funding from the Ministry of Education until 2026 to promote follow-up projects.
The ‘Vocational Education Innovation District’ project, led by the Ministry of Education, has been operating since 2021 targeting 10 districts including Busan.
In February, the Ministry of Education evaluated whether to re-designate five districts including Busan, Daegu, Incheon, Chungnam, and Gyeongnam. As a result, the Busan Office of Education was selected as an excellent district, allowing it to continue follow-up projects for three years, and it is the only district among those evaluated to receive budget support.
Busan Office of Education received high praise for operating the nation’s first ‘Vocational Education Innovation District Support Center’ jointly with Busan City, establishing a system for nurturing talent in key local industries, and creating a growth path of employment first and learning later, cultivating about 200 locally engaged talents annually.
Taking this excellent district selection as an opportunity, the Office of Education plans to further strengthen cooperation with Busan City to overcome crises such as declining school-age population and outflow of local talent through vocational education.
