Assemblywoman Nam Young-sook of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Council has taken the lead in proposing five ordinances related to children's education, including the 'Gyeongsangbuk-do Office of Education Safe School Meal Operation Ordinance.'

She has also shown special interest in educational welfare by continuously making dedicated efforts for the education of vulnerable children, such as the 'Complete Revision of the Gyeongsangbuk-do Regional Children's Center Support Ordinance.' She was recognized for her contributions in proposing ordinances to ensure the supply of safe food ingredients and improve the working environment for school meal staff, which led to the allocation of a large budget for the modernization of meal facilities, resulting in her selection as an award recipient.

Assemblywoman Nam Young-sook said, "Although I have received several awards in the past, this award for my legislative activities for children is especially meaningful," adding, "I will devote all my capabilities to address the low birthrate in Gyeongsangbuk-do, lead the victory in the war, and make Sangju a city filled with the laughter of children."
