The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education has expanded the 'Gyeonggi Education Lawyer Pool' to 327 members to enhance the protection of educational activities for school staff and strengthen legal support. This is an increase of 126 members compared to last year.
The Gyeonggi Education Lawyer Pool is a human resource group organized to provide prompt and professional legal advice to school staff in the province who may face various legal disputes during educational activities.
