Busan Office of Education Inspects School Routes in Eco Delta City... "New Schools to Open as Planned by 2029"

With the start of the second semester approaching, the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has conducted a safety inspection of the school route near Daejeo Jungang Elementary School in Eco Delta City, Gangseo-gu.

This measure aims to ensure a safe commuting environment for students, taking into account the area's unique characteristics, including ongoing apartment construction.

On the afternoon of August 21, Superintendent Kim Seokjun of the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education visited Eco Delta City with about 10 officials from the education office and the school to inspect the school route and assess safety conditions. The office checked major student commuting paths, traffic safety facilities, and school bus drop-off points. Any issues identified will be promptly addressed in cooperation with relevant agencies.

Daejeo Jungang Elementary School was closed in 2018 due to a decline in student numbers but was relocated and reopened in Eco Delta City in March of this year. As apartment construction continues in the area, managing the safety of students' commutes remains a critical concern.

To improve school routes by 2025, the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education is implementing several measures, including: providing 5.6 billion KRW in project funding to Busan City and local districts; utilizing school sites to improve school routes; deploying safety personnel at schools with high commuting risks; and operating the "Safe School Route e" system.

Superintendent Kim emphasized, "Our top priority is to create school routes where children can walk safely and happily," adding, "We will work closely with local governments to protect student safety."

On the same day, Superintendent Kim also inspected the planned sites for the tentatively named Eco 3 Kindergarten and Elementary School, and Eco 1 Middle School, which recently passed the central investment review.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education opened one kindergarten, one elementary school, and one middle school in March of this year. By 2029, it plans to establish five more kindergartens, five elementary schools, three middle schools, one high school, and one special school.
