Establishment of a Cooperative System with Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education and Southern Education Support Office

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced that it has established the '2025 Geumcheon Future Education District Operation Plan' and will actively promote Geumcheon-gu's specialized education utilizing local resources.

This plan envisions "Geumcheon Future Education Growing Together through Cooperation and Communication," aiming to "cultivate creative convergence talents by creating a future education ecosystem in the local community."

To this end, the district plans to invest a total budget of 769.36 million KRW, the second highest among Seoul's autonomous districts, to operate 19 detailed projects centered on three key tasks: ▲ strengthening local linkage cooperation ▲ supporting curriculum operation ▲ establishing a student growth support system.

In particular, this year, the district will be the first in Seoul to implement the "High School Field Trip Expense Support" project to reduce the economic burden on families and increase opportunities for diverse educational experiences. Approximately 1,200 high school students in the area will receive 200,000 KRW per student, totaling 240 million KRW, as educational expense subsidies provided to schools.

A budget of 230 million KRW has been allocated to support school-specific characteristic programs. The existing support method by individual education programs has been changed to a comprehensive support method to improve education that respects the autonomy and diversity of schools in the field.

The budget for "Youth Ecological Transition Environmental Education" has been increased from 35 million KRW to 50 million KRW, expanding and reorganizing existing projects. Regular parent meetings for communication with parents will also be institutionalized to actively reflect opinions from the education field.

Geumcheon-gu's specialized projects, the "Four Major Experience Schools (Science, Health, Environment, Musical)," will continue to operate. In particular, the Science School will additionally link the "Science Cube" program to provide specialized customized science education such as coding and artificial intelligence (AI). Through regular academies, vacation special lectures, and university-linked science creativity education, opportunities for youth to develop scientific thinking skills will be expanded.

Additionally, as a school-linked curriculum, tailored educational programs by grade such as "Our Neighborhood Expert," "Our Neighborhood Science Exploration," and "Our School Garden Cultivation" will be operated for elementary school students in grades 3 to 5 to enhance students' understanding of the local area and promote creativity and inquiry skills.

Geumcheon-gu Mayor Yu Seong-hoon said, "This plan reflects the analysis of last year's project outcomes by abolishing overlapping projects with the education office and discovering and incorporating new customized projects needed in school education sites. We will continue to do our best to help children grow into creative convergence talents of the future society through education unique to Geumcheon-gu by utilizing various local educational resources."
