The Office completed its move to the new headquarters in Yongsan-gu on March 21 and will hold its opening ceremony on April 1.


This additional station naming is intended to help students, parents, and citizens visiting the Office via subway more easily identify its location following the relocation to the new headquarters.


The Office expects that confusion and inconvenience for visitors heading to the new location will be significantly reduced as a result.


The new headquarters, named "Seoul Education Maru," has been established as an open public office for citizens. It features shared spaces such as an open lounge, community stairs, and a book cafe, and will serve as a new communication hub for Seoul education, sharing the 70-year history and future vision of education in Seoul.


Based on this announcement, the Office plans to coordinate in detail with Seoul Metro regarding the timing and methods for updating related facilities. It will also collaborate with other agencies working on route map improvements to update guidance and informational facilities within the year.



Superintendent Chung Keunsik stated, "Adding 'Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education' to the 'Sookmyung Women's Univ. (Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education)' station name is a very meaningful decision that will reduce confusion and improve convenience for students, parents, and citizens visiting the new headquarters. At Seoul Education Maru, the symbolic space for Seoul education, we will communicate with and empathize with students and citizens to usher in a new century of Seoul education."
