On October 23, Gwangju City reaffirmed this policy by holding a school violence prevention campaign at Tanbeol Middle School in collaboration with the Middle School Parents Police Union.

This campaign followed the launch of the "Gwangju City Council for Supporting Safe School Life" and was held during students' lunchtime. It was the fourth campaign conducted according to the 2025 second-half schedule of the Middle School Parents Police Union's school violence prevention efforts, following similar events at Gyeonghwa Girls' Middle School, Gwangju Middle School, and Gwangnam Middle School.

Officials from Gwangju City Hall, Gyeonggi Gwangju Police Station, and the Parents Police Union participated at the site, engaging with students and emphasizing the importance of preventing school violence.

The city directly distributed school violence prevention promotional items to participating students, reaffirming its strong determination to eliminate school violence. Additionally, students were reminded of the seriousness of school violence and the importance of fostering a considerate school culture, with a call to ensure a safe and happy school life.

Mayor Bangs Hwan said, "The safety and happiness of our children are values that Gwangju City must prioritize above all else," adding, "We will spare no administrative support to ensure the smooth operation of this campaign and the activities of the 'Gwangju City Council for Supporting Safe School Life,' which was launched last month."

Meanwhile, the city plans to build a comprehensive school safety network involving related organizations, parents, and citizens, with the goal of making Gwangju a happy city completely free of school violence.
