A "Health Education Hub School" is a school that contributes to revitalizing regional health education, centering on a professional learning community that practices student-centered health education. Through a public selection process in 2025, the Office of Education designated a total of 13 such schools.

This initiative is also part of Superintendent Lim Taehee's pledge for "integrated student health support," and is designated and operated in accordance with the "Ordinance on the Promotion of Health Education for Students in Gyeonggi Province."

The essential tasks for hub schools include: ▲ operating regional, off-campus professional learning communities related to health education; ▲ developing and sharing methods for designing and assessing health classes; ▲ conducting and opening class research; and ▲ facilitating inter-hub school collaboration and sharing operational outcomes.

This training will be conducted in-person as follows: ▲ (Northern region) June 12 at Ilsan Yangil Middle School; ▲ (Southern region) June 14 at Seongnam Dong Middle School and June 28 at Yongin Pogok Middle School; ▲ (Southwestern region) July 4 at Ansan Seonbu High School.

The main topics of the training will focus on practical cases from field teachers and include: ▲ the health education curriculum, instruction, assessment, and record-keeping; ▲ operation of health classes; ▲ management and evaluation of elective courses in health and nursing; and ▲ operation of health-related clubs.

In particular, the program will invite college admissions experts to provide in-depth sessions on analyzing and preparing school records according to the admission criteria for health and medical-related universities, as well as a comprehensive understanding of the admissions process.

The Office of Education plans to strengthen student health promotion and career and college guidance in the health and medical fields through the hub schools. Through this, it aims to establish a systematic health education operation model and enhance the quality of health education in schools.
