Gyeonggi Education Office Appoints 40 Members to Youth Manifesto Practice Group

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education held the appointment ceremony for the 5th Youth Manifesto Practice Group at the Suwon Southern Government Complex on September 12, 2025.

This year's Youth Manifesto Practice Group consists of a total of 40 students, including 4 elementary school students, 13 middle school students, and 23 high school students from across the province.

In selecting the 40 students, the office ensured a balanced consideration of gender and region, and chose students who demonstrated a high level of sincerity regarding their policy interests and a strong willingness to participate in policy-making, based on school principal recommendations and a fair review of self-introduction letters.

Notably, this year's Manifesto Practice Group also includes out-of-school youth and students of foreign nationality, in order to incorporate a wider range of perspectives in policy evaluation.

The Manifesto Practice Group will participate in policy camps until February next year, proposing policies that reflect their own opinions and helping to incorporate the perspectives of future generations into educational policy.

Seo Hyejeong, Director of Policy Planning at the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, stated, "I hope the 5th Youth Manifesto Practice Group will thoroughly review the achievements of Gyeonggi Education over the past three years and propose practical and creative policies suitable for the school environment," adding, "We will actively support these activities so that youth can grow their sense of social responsibility and capability as the main protagonists of Gyeonggi Education."

Meanwhile, the activities of the 4th Youth Manifesto Practice Group went beyond simple policy pledge evaluation, as members directly submitted individual and group proposals through the 'e-Policy Marketplace Platform,' and the relevant departments of the provincial office are currently reviewing these submissions.
