Gyeonggi Office of Education Publishes Electronic Document on 'Universal Design' for Non-Discriminatory Facility Use

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education reorganized the 'Universal Design Guidelines,' first published in 2019 as the nation's first among metropolitan and provincial offices of education, and issued it in electronic document form on the 23rd.

Universal Design is a concept of designing usage environments so that all users, regardless of disability, age, gender, or language, can conveniently use facilities, products, and services.

The Provincial Office of Education, the first among educational institutions nationwide, enacted an ordinance and published the Universal Design Guidelines in electronic document form this time. With this reorganization into an electronic document, it can now be accessed anytime and anywhere through electronic communication media.
