He also emphasized, “There is a high demand from each region for the establishment of the complex cultural facility Wisdom Sea,” and stated, “Following the Wisdom Sea in Masan and Gimhae, and the Gayasan Reading Hall Jungle Book in Hapcheon, we will continue to expand to necessary areas such as Geoje, making it a cultural hub loved by residents.”

Candidate Park pledged, “We will establish Happy Village Schools in all cities and counties to widely utilize villages as places of education,” and “We will operate educational programs linking schools and villages, and actively support village schools and village teachers.”

He also conveyed the ‘Five Promises for Only Gyeongnam Education, Only Gyeongnam Students.’

▲ Taking full responsibility for all education from how to hold a pencil to university admission through Korea’s first nationwide AI-based education ▲ Realizing complete free education up to private kindergartens and strengthening public education support for infants in daycare centers ▲ Resolving educational gaps through expansion of base integrated care centers for safe care, basic academic support centers, and EduPay payments ▲ Creating schools free from school violence by early detection online systems and expanding deployment of specialized personnel ▲ Promising to increase welfare points for faculty and staff and significantly reduce the total workload of schools.

Candidate Park Jonghun said, “I will devote my last strength solely to Gyeongnam education and Gyeongnam students,” and asked for support, saying, “Please join forces so that the achievements of Gyeongnam education made so far do not regress or go backward.”
