Lim Tae-hee, Superintendent of Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, stated that Gyeonggi Shared Schools are an educational system that can demonstrate the diversity and flexibility of public education, and pledged to actively support Gyeonggi students so that they can receive the education they want within public education without being marginalized.


On the afternoon of the 20th, Superintendent Lim visited Baekam Elementary School, a hub shared school in Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province, and explained the background of starting Gyeonggi Shared Schools, saying, "It started from the idea of how to educationally supplement the diverse needs of students."


Baekam Elementary School, the hub shared school, connects nearby elementary schools with small student populations?Duchang Elementary, Baekbong Elementary, Wonsam Elementary, Jangpyeong Elementary, and Jwahang Elementary?to operate various programs.


In particular, the hub shared school operates a shared taxi service for students who want programs outside of school.


The shared taxi is a cooperative system between the Office of Education and local taxi companies, allowing students to take taxis to the shared school and return home safely.


After finishing classes, students call a taxi to move to the shared school. After completing shared school classes, they call a taxi to return home. Currently, 29 students from six schools are participating in soccer and orchestra classes.



On that day, Superintendent Lim rode the shared taxi with two 4th-grade students from Jangpyeong Elementary School and moved to Baekam Elementary School, the hub school. He then attended a shared school briefing session with parents, principals from six elementary schools in the Baekam district, and officials from Yongin City and the Yongin Office of Education.
