Osan City "This Year's First Proactive Administration Task is Establishing a Middle School and Designating AI Meister High School"

New Middle School to Open in Naesammi-dong... Software High School to Become AI Meister High School
Lee Kwon-jae Vows "Full Commitment to Establishing New Schools and Improving School Facilities"

Osan City in Gyeonggi Province has identified educational issues as its first proactive administrative task this year. These include the establishment of a new middle school and the designation of an AI Meister High School (tentative name).

According to the city on the 20th, Mayor Lee Kwon-jae of Osan City has set the establishment of a middle school in Naesammi-dong and the designation of Se-gyo AI Meister High School as major projects for regional educational development this year.

The establishment of the Naesammi-dong middle school is a project to open a new middle school near the Hwaseong Osan Office of Education in Naesammi-dong. As housing supply for about 8,600 households is being promoted in the area, the plan is to proactively open the middle school in time for the apartment move-in period.

In the case of Se-gyo AI Meister High School, it involves converting Se-gyo Software High School (tentative name) into an AI Meister High School. Earlier, in December 2023, the city signed a business agreement with the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education and the Hwaseong Osan Office of Education for this purpose. The city is recommending the provincial education office to ensure a swift transition and is currently requesting early reflection of design costs for the construction of dormitories, an essential element for the Meister High School conversion.

To this end, Mayor Lee visited the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education on the 10th and requested the provincial education superintendent, Lim Tae-hee, to pay attention to and support these two matters. Along with this, the mayor also requested support for special adjustment grants for the construction of a gymnasium and remodeling support for aging facilities such as libraries, gymnasiums, and restrooms in schools of all levels.

Mayor Lee said, "We will make every effort to promptly establish schools through active consultation with the provincial education office and to secure the maximum possible budget for school facility improvement projects."
