A special education assistant who attended the workshop said, "Due to the limitations caused by disabilities, students eligible for special education participate in a variety of experiential activities at school. Through today's training, I learned about the effective roles of support staff during field trips and was able to strengthen my ability to respond to crises on site."

Shin Woonsik, Director of the Special Education Support Center, stated, "We will continue to make efforts to support a safe and meaningful school life for students eligible for special education by providing various capacity building programs for special education support staff."
