Jung Seongsuk, Superintendent of the Gwangju Eastern Office of Education, said, "Since being designated as a pilot education support office this year, we have been actively collaborating with local welfare resources to establish a student customized integrated support system. We will do our best to realize Gwangju education that does not give up on a single child.”
