Wando Fisheries High School will introduce the field-oriented education of fisheries Meister High Schools nationwide through an EBS educational documentary.

According to Wando Fisheries High School on January 15, EBS1's "Class Up!

This broadcast will showcase scenes of classes that extend learning spaces beyond the classroom to the sea and the local community. Students learn about the growth process of living organisms by raising abalone and ornamental fish themselves, and they gain firsthand understanding of the importance of producing safe food through food experiments and processing practices using marine products.

In particular, navigation training on the training vessel "Cheonghaejin-ho" draws viewers' attention. Students performed roles under the same conditions as actual fishing vessel operations, including steering, deck work, engine management, and fishing operations, experiencing field-based learning that combines theory and practice.

German broadcaster Daniel Lindemann also participated in the program. He reflected on the value of regionally based vocational education and the essence of education, delivering the message that, amid the crisis of regional extinction, education and people are the key to sustaining the future of local communities.

Principal Lee Hyunjin said, "The purpose of Wando Fisheries High School's education goes beyond delivering knowledge; it is to help students prepare for a future living in harmony with the sea," adding, "I hope this broadcast will serve as an opportunity to widely promote the professionalism and field-oriented nature of fisheries education."

Wando Fisheries High School plans to continue strengthening practical, industry-linked education and to innovate its curriculum to nurture talent who will lead the fisheries sector.
