This advisory meeting is the second, following the meeting held on May 29th attended by 24 middle and high school principals.

The meeting, focusing on presenting policy ideas for educational development, efficient operation plans for educational expense subsidies, operation of the Bang Jeong-hwan Education Support Center, and building educational development governance, will be held in the Planning Situation Room on the 4th floor of the district office from 10:30 AM for about 90 minutes.
