The Gwangju Office of Education held a "Smart Device Handover Ceremony" the previous day at Gwangju Seoseok Middle School, attended by Superintendent Lee Jungseon, Principal Jeong Dongjin, and 25 students. The smart device distribution project was launched to reduce the digital learning gap among students and to establish the foundation for future education in public schools. Since last year, the Gwangju Office of Education has been providing smart devices to local students, and this year, the distribution is scheduled to be completed between the 6th and 25th of this month.

Once the distribution is complete, all students from first-year middle school to third-year high school in the Gwangju region will be able to participate in various educational activities using their own smart devices.

To support the use of smart devices, the Gwangju Office of Education held a preliminary briefing session at the Education Training Institute on the 14th, and plans to operate an after-sales support center for six years as well as a 24-hour chatbot consultation service. In addition, to further promote the use of smart devices, open classes will be held at leading schools.

Superintendent Lee Jungseon stated, "Smart devices will become essential learning tools in future education," and added, "We will do our best to advance the educational environment in Gwangju and to ensure that Edutech is effectively utilized."
