(Busan = International News) Reporter Kim Ok-bin = People’s Power Rep. Lee Ju-hwan (Yeonje-gu, Busan) announced on the 7th that he met with the superintendent of Busan City Superintendent Kim Seok-joon on the 5th and requested the establishment of a new elementary school in Geoje District 2, Yeonje-gu.
Geoje District 2, located in Geoje 2-dong, Yeonje-gu, is scheduled to move into two apartments (Ray County, Ssangyong Geoje) with approximately 5,000 households by 2023. It is estimated to be 1430.
The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education plans to expand and accommodate two nearby schools for the growing right to learn, but in this case, it is difficult to guarantee a pleasant learning right due to overcrowding of classes, and there is a concern that even the right to life of children may be threatened due to safety issues such as long-distance commuting. Points are being raised.
Assemblyman Lee said, “5000 households are a condition that meets the requirements for establishing an elementary school, and if the land that was previously reviewed as an elementary school site is used, the new construction is much more efficient. There is no difference,” he stressed, “for our children, even for our children, it is urgent to promote them to ensure a pleasant right to study and to ensure safety.”
According to the data submitted by Congressman Lee from the Ministry of Education, a total of 84 new elementary school projects that passed the Ministry of Education’s screening in the last three years (2018-2020), with a total project cost of 3,3457 billion won, and an average of 39.8 billion per school. It took 10,000 won.
On the other hand, in the case of extension, a total of 20 cases were passed, and 404 billion won was invested, resulting in an average budget of 20.2 billion won per school.
Superintendent Kim said, “The Busan school-age population is continuing to decline, and as a result of its own analysis, there is a difficult part, and there is no guarantee that it will pass even if a request for a new establishment is made to the Ministry of Education.” “It’s a difficult problem.”
He continued, “As the safety issue of children is a special concern, we will look to see if there is room for it.”
