The Autonomous Public High School (Jagogonggo) system is a program in which schools collaborate with local governments, universities, and companies to strengthen customized education for students and foster future talent. With this selection, Pocheonil High School is set to become a key institution for regionally tailored education.

Last year, Pocheon High School was included among the 100 schools nationwide selected as Jagogonggo, and this year, with Pocheonil High School being chosen, Pocheon City has further solidified its status as a city of future-oriented education.

In particular, following last year's designation as a pilot area for the Special Education Development Zone, Pocheon City has now achieved the additional milestone of being selected for the Autonomous Public High School 2.0 program, further establishing its position as an "education city." The city's education-focused policies are now yielding visible results.

Pocheonil High School plans to implement eco-friendly education utilizing the region's ecological resources, as well as global communication education in connection with Pocheon City's international sister cities, based on agreements with Pocheon City and related organizations.

He continued, "We will do our utmost to create Pocheon as a city of humanities education in connection with the Special Education Development Zone pilot project."

Pocheon City also plans to continue working closely with the Office of Education and schools to actively support students in realizing their greater dreams.
