This agreement aims to foster inter-agency cooperation to attract a science high school to Icheon following the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education's announcement in April regarding the plan to newly designate science high schools. Attendees at the signing ceremony included Kim Kyung-hee, Mayor of Icheon; Park Myung-seo, Chairperson of Icheon City Council; Kim Eun-jung, Superintendent of Icheon Office of Education; and Kim Il-jung, Provincial Assembly member. The participating institutions will share data and information to attract the science high school and establish a cooperative system for formulating school establishment plans and organizing a promotion team.

Earlier, last month, the city held a meeting with the Icheon Office of Education and principals of six local general high schools to gather opinions on attracting the science high school. The city plans to collect feedback through surveys targeting residents, as well as conduct signature campaigns and forums to ensure the successful attraction of the science high school.

Mayor Kim stated, "By attracting a science high school to Icheon, a hub of advanced industries, we will expand educational infrastructure and improve local living conditions, doing our best to make Icheon a future education city."
