The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education will implement spatial restructuring projects at 20 schools this year.

The office announced on February 3 that, following an internal review, it has selected 10 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 5 high schools as the targets for this year's Gyeonggi-type spatial restructuring project.

The office plans to invest 480.8 billion won in the selected schools to carry out the spatial restructuring project through 2030.

The educational community—including students, parents, and staff—participates from the initial planning stage through to the design process.

This year's project will focus on ▲ flexible multi-purpose spaces ▲ smart classrooms equipped with digital devices ▲ ecological education spaces, among other areas.

An official from the office stated, "Based on previous cases, we will do our best to ensure that the selected schools are developed into user-centered future educational spaces," adding, "We plan to identify and share best practices in spatial restructuring, thereby spreading consensus on creating future educational environments linked to teaching and learning."

Meanwhile, the number of schools involved in the spatial restructuring project by year is as follows: 68 in 2021, 41 in 2022, 14 in 2023, 31 in 2024, and 34 in 2025.
