The Busan Office of Education will operate the ‘Busan Education Empathy Zone and Public Education Change Zone’ to share excellent Busan education policy achievements with citizens and provide students with diverse experiential activities through booth operations.

Through this, they plan to intensively promote the ‘Busan-type Public Education Change’ policies leading education in Korea, including academic change, morning change, reading change, and the Busan-style Neulbom School, aimed at overcoming low birthrate by improving public awareness and forming consensus across the city.

Ha Yoonsoo, Superintendent of Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, said, “This event will be a great opportunity to build consensus on Busan education policies and spread positive messages responding to the low birthrate. The Office of Education will work closely with related organizations such as Busan City to ensure our children settle in Busan and grow into talents who lead Busan’s development.”
