Vice Chairman Lee stated, "Local autonomy ultimately begins with the interest and participation of local residents," and added, "I hope this Assembly Classroom will serve as an opportunity for students to feel a sense of responsibility in thinking about our community together."

The Jeonnam Provincial Council plans to continue operating the Youth Assembly Classroom, which encourages active student participation, in order to foster democratic awareness and participatory capacity among young people, who are the future leaders of the local community.
