Cheonan City, Chungnam Province, announced on the 6th that it has been re-designated for the second consecutive time in the "2024 Lifelong Learning City Re-designation Evaluation" hosted by the Ministry of Education and the National Institute for Lifelong Education.

The city was first designated as a Lifelong Learning City in 2007, and following the first evaluation cycle in 2021, it has now been re-designated in the second evaluation cycle.

In particular, the city reportedly received high marks in this evaluation for its systematic operations, such as establishing a comprehensive mid- to long-term development plan for lifelong education, hiring additional lifelong education professionals and supporting capacity building, realizing learner autonomy that reflects citizens' needs, and providing space and cooperation for learning clubs.

Mayor Park Sangdon stated, "Through the second cycle evaluation for lifelong learning city re-designation, we have once again assessed the city's lifelong education projects," and added, "We will incorporate areas for improvement into the mid- to long-term development plan for lifelong learning currently being established this year, and strive to make Cheonan a more advanced lifelong learning city."
