Gwangmyeong City announced on the 24th that it was recently selected for the '2025 Gyeonggi-do Lifelong Learning Forum Joint Hosting' and the '2025 Gyeonggi-do Lifelong Education Consulting Project' organized by Gyeonggi Province.

Through this selection, the city plans to co-host the 'Gyeonggi-do Lifelong Learning Forum' with the province in June. This year, the Gyeonggi-do Lifelong Learning Forum will be held in six cities and counties, including Gwangmyeong City. The forum, themed 'New Challenges for Lifelong Learning Cities ?

This plan must be compulsorily established every five years according to the city's Lifelong Education Promotion Ordinance. With this selection, the city expects to set a more strategic development direction through the objective perspective of external experts.
