Gyeongbuk Uiseong Unitech High School, Pledge Ceremony for Preventing School Violence and Respecting Life to Reduce Academic Dropout

The event, held on the 29th at the school's Ye Gong Hall, was not a mere formality. Instead, it served as a platform for students to publicly declare their commitment to "never stop learning until the end."

◆ "School Violence is a Crime, Respect for Life is a Duty"

Vice Principal Lee Sehun, in his encouraging remarks, stated, "Respecting life is both our duty and a social responsibility. We must develop an attitude that respects not only our own lives but also the lives of our friends. School violence is an unforgivable crime, and active reporting and prevention are essential."

His remarks served as a reminder of the fundamental principle that schools must be safe, while also clarifying that teachers are not merely conveyors of knowledge but also guardians and companions in students' lives.

◆ A Declaration Born from Students' Voluntary Commitment

Student representatives read a declaration stating, "I love my life, I will respect my friends just as I respect myself, and I will not give up no matter what difficulties arise," and then signed it themselves. This act was especially meaningful as it was not led by the administration but by the students themselves, who accepted the weight of the pledge as active participants.

In particular, the phrase "not giving up no matter what difficulties arise" has become a symbolic scene, representing not only the institutional goal of preventing academic dropout but also the youth generation’s promise to take responsibility for and challenge their own futures.

◆ The Starting Point for School Culture Innovation

Principal Kim Hanpyo of Uiseong Unitech High School said, "This pledge ceremony is not a one-time event, but the starting point of school culture innovation led by students themselves. We will continue to connect academic dropout prevention, eradication of school violence, and education on respect for life to foster a healthy community culture."

The pledge ceremony at Uiseong Unitech High School demonstrates that in the field of local youth education, the value of life and relationships is more important than mere knowledge. By showing that education can be a pillar supporting students’ lives beyond systems and regulations, this ceremony is regarded as a turning point in building a safe and sustainable school culture.
