The Self-Directed Learning Centers were introduced for the first time this year to provide spaces and programs for middle and high school students who lack adequate learning environments. Similar to the Office of Education's "365 Study Room," learning coordinators will be stationed to support individualized learning for students, and EBS lectures as well as online tutoring sessions with university students will also be offered.

For this contest, the Office of Education divided 42 high schools into six regions, and two of these regions-Gyeongshin Girls' High School region and Dongsin Girls' High School region-were selected.

The Gyeongshin Girls' High School region includes Gwangdeok High School, Gwangju Girls' High School, Gwangju Jeil High School, Kumho High School, Kumho Joongang Girls' High School, and Sangil Girls' High School. The Dongsin Girls' High School region includes Dongsin High School, Seoksan High School, Supia Girls' High School, Salesio Girls' High School, Chodaebu High School, and Chodae Girls' High School.

The Office of Education plans to utilize individual study rooms, group study rooms, and seminar rooms within each school's 365 Study Room to provide self-directed learning spaces, and will support EBS programs and learning management services. University student online tutoring will be conducted through the Korea Student Aid Foundation's "University Student Youth Education Support Program," with teachers participating as learning coordinators to assist students.

The Office of Education will also establish separate plans for schools that were not selected this time, preparing operational strategies for the "Gwangju-Style Self-Directed Learning Center."
