Gyeonggi Office of Education Expands Support for "Safe Notification Service" on School Commute Routes

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education is significantly expanding its support for the "Safe Notification Service," a key foundation for ensuring student safety during their commute to and from school.

The Safe Notification Service is a system that provides real-time updates to guardians about elementary students' arrival and departure from school, serving as a representative school safety network project that helps secure student safety.

Until last year, the provincial office had supported the service for first to third graders at elementary schools in the province, but starting this year, the program has been expanded to cover all elementary school grades.

As a result, students who previously had to pay for the service can now use it free of charge.

With the expansion of the program, the number of schools operating the Safe Notification Service increased from 1,192 schools (88.6%) in 2025 to 1,242 schools (90.7%) in 2026.

During the same period, the number of student users more than doubled, rising from 289,250 (42.3%) to 585,777 (89.9%).

An official from the provincial office stated, "We will continue to closely monitor the operation status and consistently pursue related policies to establish a thorough school safety network."
