On the 13th at 4 p.m., the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education will hold the ‘2024 Busan Metropolitan Office of Education Student Council Inauguration Ceremony’ at the strategic meeting room of the annex building, targeting about 80 people including student council members and facilitators.

The student council, which has been operating since 2020, is established under the ‘Ordinance on the Activation of Student Self-Governance and Participation of the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education’ to collect student opinions on educational policies and guarantee student participation in self-governance activities.

Now in its 5th term this year, the student council consists of a total of 65 elementary, middle, and high school students, including 52 open-position student council members selected through a public recruitment in May and 13 ex officio student council members recommended by student representative councils by education support offices and school levels.

The inauguration ceremony will proceed with the election of the chairperson group, guidance on the operation plan of the student council, and the awarding of appointment letters and council member badges. Superintendent Ha Yun-su will distribute the appointment letters and member badges to encourage the activities of the student council members.

In addition, preliminary safety education will be conducted to ensure safe and substantial operation of the ‘Student Council Leadership Camp’ held over two days on the 4th and 5th of next month at locations including the National Assembly Building.

Starting with the inauguration ceremony, the student council plans to engage in full-scale activities such as holding regular meetings and forming subcommittees. In particular, policies finally approved by the student council will be utilized in educational policy formulation after advisory review.

Superintendent Ha Yun-su said, “The activities of the student council members will be a great opportunity for students to grow into mature democratic citizens,” and added, “Our Office of Education will spare no support so that students can develop proper character and grow into talents who will lead the Republic of Korea.”
