The first training session was held on the 15th at the Student Independence Movement Memorial Hall auditorium, targeting vice principals. Kim Sunyoung, an attorney from the law firm 'Simin,' led the session, explaining the prevention of sexual harassment and sexual violence in schools, prevention of secondary harm, and response systems in case of incidents, all based on real case precedents.

On the 18th, another session will take place at the Office of Education's Creative Convergence Education Center, this time for principals. Moon Sukyoung, a team leader from the Korea Women's Human Rights Institute, will serve as the instructor, introducing methods for building a safe school culture, including gender equality education, and prevention of sexual violence and drug abuse.

The final session will be held on the 25th for administrative directors, with content structured identically to the previous vice principal training.

Superintendent Lee Jungseon stated, "We will continue to develop and distribute effective educational and supervisory materials for students, faculty, and guardians."
