Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education is operating the nation's first pilot schools focused on addiction prevention education to prevent learning loss among youth and support their healthy growth.

The Office of Education announced on the 12th that it has selected seven middle and high schools as pilot schools for addiction prevention education and will operate them on a trial basis until November.
