The meeting covered a variety of topics, including improvements to the educational environment, student welfare, and expanding parental participation. In particular, participants focused on the need to enhance educational welfare, citing decreased classroom efficiency due to the use of electronic whiteboards that have exceeded their service life, as well as the need to address high temperatures during summer caused by climate change.

One parent commented, "It was a meaningful opportunity to directly voice our opinions about school operations," and added, "We hope for continued attention and support so that our children can receive education in a better environment."

Assemblyman Park stated, "The issues raised are not limited to a single school but are common across several schools in the region. We will work closely with related institutions, such as the Provincial Office of Education and the Office of Education Support, to ensure that practical improvements are made."

He added, "Going forward, I will continue to communicate with faculty, parents, and students in the field, and will do my best to ensure that the voices from the field are faithfully reflected in Jeonnam's education policies."
