Recently, the county signed the "Better Education District Re-designation (Phase 3) Business Agreement" with the Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province Office of Education (Superintendent Shin Kyungho) and the Inje Office of Education (Director Choi Suho) at the small conference room of Inje County Office.

The "Better Education District" is an educational cooperation project led by the Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province Office of Education. It refers to a regional educational community jointly created by the Office of Education and local governments, linking school education with various resources in the local community to help children grow and thrive.

This agreement marks the third phase of the project, following Phase 1 (2018-2021) and Phase 2 (2022-2025). For four years, from 2026 to 2029, a total project budget of 1.6 billion won (400 million won per year) will be invested.

The county aims to realize the vision of a "Inje-style educational community jointly created by schools and the local community." In Phase 3, it plans to continue implementing a variety of educational programs that reflect the unique characteristics of the region.

First, the county will maintain its collaborative system centered on the "Sutdali Civil-Government-Academia Council." "Sutdali" is an abbreviation for "Education Changed by Horizontal Communication," and serves as an intermediary support organization that sets the direction and strengthens cooperation for the Better Education District in Inje.

In addition, the county will continue to promote the "Inje-like Talent Project," a key joint initiative of the district. This project is an experiential local talent development program that utilizes Inje's cultural, natural, and everyday resources. It offers one-day experiential activities on themes such as villages, history, and culture for students from local kindergartens, elementary, and middle schools.

Furthermore, the county will continue to operate "Village Jarimteo" and "School Jarimteo," which offer a variety of curricula and programs.

Choi Sanggi, Governor of Inje County, stated, "We will mobilize all available resources in the region to realize an educational community where schools and the local community raise children together," adding, "With this agreement as a starting point, we will actively support Inje's education so that it can establish itself as a sustainable model that grows together with the community."
