As his first priority, Bang proposed accelerating the establishment of new schools such as Samdong Elementary School, Ssangnyeong Middle School, and Maeyang High School. Given Gwangju's rapid population influx, which has pushed class sizes to their limits, he pledged to expedite school openings to create classrooms that allow each student to receive more individualized attention.

Bang emphasized, "In some areas of Gwangju, there are currently too many students seated in a single classroom," and added, "The speed of building new schools must keep pace with population growth in order to truly guarantee students' right to learn."

As a measure to strengthen Gwangju's competitiveness in future-oriented education, Bang announced plans to gradually expand 'autonomous public high schools,' thereby increasing the options available to students and parents. This initiative is intended to proactively respond to the evolving educational environment and further enhance the competitiveness of Gwangju's education system.

Bang also highlighted the improvement of working conditions for childcare workers as a key priority, stating, "Social workers who take care of students after school are also teachers in their own right." He diagnosed that "the working environment for social workers directly impacts the quality of childcare services."

In particular, Bang referred to Gwangju's first-ever public daycare center for children with disabilities, which was established during the eighth local government term, and stated, "Based on the experience of raising the standard of public childcare, I will create an environment where qualified professionals can work stably."

Bang expressed his deep gratitude for the dedication of social workers who have stood by children and citizens even under difficult circumstances, and pledged, "I will build a city where education and childcare are seamlessly connected, and where everyone is respected in Gwangju."
