Busan Port Authority Signs Operational Agreement with Busan Metropolitan Office of Education

Busan Port Authority and Busan Metropolitan Office of Education are signing a business agreement to operate the Survival Swimming Hub Center.

The Busan North Port Marina Swimming Pool, which opened last December, will serve as a hub center for elementary school students' survival swimming education.

Busan Port Authority (BPA, President Kang Jun-seok) announced on the 26th that it signed a "Memorandum of Understanding to Promote Survival Swimming Education through the Operation of an Elementary Survival Swimming Hub Center" with the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education.

The signing ceremony held at the BPA headquarters was attended by Kang Jun-seok, President of Busan Port Authority, Ha Yun-su, Superintendent of Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, Lee Jae-han, Western Education Director, Park Gwi-ja, Southern Education Director, and other officials.

The two organizations agreed on key points including ▲ cooperation to promote survival swimming education by the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education ▲ administrative and financial support for efficient educational project implementation ▲ provision of theoretical and practical training facilities for elementary survival swimming, and decided to utilize the Busan North Port Marina Swimming Pool as a survival swimming hub center.

According to the agreement, Busan Port Authority will provide survival swimming training facilities to students from 16 nearby elementary schools starting in April.

Kang Jun-seok, President of Busan Port Authority, said, "The Ministry of Education currently operates survival swimming as a mandatory elementary education course, but securing educational facilities is challenging. We expect that the Busan North Port Marina Swimming Pool serving as a hub center will greatly help activate survival swimming education."

He added, "Survival swimming education teaches valuable skills to protect lives in emergency situations. I am pleased that through this agreement, we can contribute to the local community and help protect the lives of children."
