The signing ceremony was attended by Mayor Bang Sehwan, Superintendent Oh Seongae, and officials from both organizations.

This agreement was established as the existing "Gwangju Future Education Cooperation District" project is set to end in February this year. The project name will be changed to "Gyeonggi Shared School Customized School," and for the next two years, Gwangju City and the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education will work together to implement customized educational support projects and Gyeonggi Shared School policies targeting local schools and students.

The "Gyeonggi Shared School Customized School" project represents a public, cooperative, open, and expansion-oriented future education governance model, where the public sector takes responsibility and the community participates to extend school education into the local area. Through this, the plan is to establish an educational cooperation system that reflects local conditions and the needs of schools.

Currently, the city is working with the Gwangju Hanam Office of Education to promote various future education cooperation district projects for elementary, middle, and high school students, such as the School-Community Connection Orchestra, All-Village Experience School (field trips, experiential centers, local instructors), career education support, and support for the creation of future schools.

After signing the agreement, the two organizations will finalize the details of support projects and budget scale through mutual consultation to ensure stable operation of educational cooperation initiatives, and will gradually implement an educational cooperation model that reflects the characteristics of the local community.

Mayor Bang Sehwan stated, "Based on close cooperation with the Gwangju Hanam Office of Education, we will continue to expand educational support to nurture future talents who possess both character and competence. I hope that this business agreement will serve as an opportunity to drive qualitative growth in regional education."
