On the 25th, Park Sang-chul, president of Honam University, held a meeting in the president's office with the officials of the 'Gochangbuk High School Confucius Classroom,' affiliated with the Honam University Confucius Academy, which celebrated its 5th anniversary. They discussed various upcoming commemorative event plans and program operations.

Attending the meeting were Park Sang-chul, president of Honam University; Kim Mi-sook, chairperson of the Central Academy Foundation; Son Wan-i, director of the Confucius Academy Oriental Medicine Center; Jwa Kwon-mun, director of the Central Medicine Center; Yoo Young, deputy director; Jeong Jong-seok, principal of Gochangbuk High School; Lee Sang-ho, administrative director; and Park Jeong-seon, international director of the Confucius Classroom, among other officials.

Kim Mi-sook, chairperson of the Central Academy Foundation, said, "We thank President Park Sang-chul for his active support over the past five years, and we will continue to do our best to ensure that the Honam University Confucius Academy and Confucius Classroom provide high-quality Chinese language education to students and strengthen their global competencies."

The Gochangbuk High School Confucius Classroom was established on March 28, 2019, with the purpose of further enhancing the Confucius Academy's community service functions, promoting the development of local Chinese language education, and fostering mutual understanding and friendship between the peoples of the two countries. Unlike Confucius Academies established at universities, the Confucius Classroom operates targeting middle and high schools. By hosting the Confucius Classroom at Gochangbuk High School, more support is being provided to students in the Honam region who wish to enter university through Chinese language proficiency.
