[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Busan Municipal Citizen Library will operate the 'Reading Debate Classroom Visiting Schools' program for six middle school reading clubs starting in March.

The program aims to cultivate the character and competencies necessary for living together through reading and debate. A specialized instructor majoring in reading education from Dong-A University Graduate School of Education will visit schools directly to conduct debate classes.
