This agreement was established to encourage community sports activities by opening school facilities such as playgrounds and gyms to local residents during unused hours, and to strengthen administrative and financial support to back these efforts.


The main points of the agreement include actively opening school facilities (such as playgrounds, gyms, and parking lots), expanding support for the operating costs of these open facilities, and having the city, the Office of Education, and the schools jointly address any civil complaints that arise during the facility opening process to ensure a stable operational foundation.


A Pocheon City official stated, "We deeply appreciate the principals of the 34 schools for opening their doors to the community despite the many challenges of ensuring student safety and managing academic schedules," adding, "We hope this agreement will serve as a catalyst for schools to become central spaces for the local community, and become a model case of mutual growth and cooperation between residents and schools."



Pocheon City and the Pocheon Office of Education plan to continue their cooperation by regularly operating the School Facility Opening Operations Council and jointly responding to any civil complaints related to facility openings, so that the initiative can be stably established.
