The results of each phase are expected to be announced in January and March of next year, respectively.
Earlier, on the 7th of last month, the city and the Icheon Office of Education submitted an application to the provincial office of education including ▲ Gyeonggi Eastern Region Science Shared School ▲ plans for operating education programs linked with companies and research institutes ▲ and the willingness of the local community to accept it.
