On May 31, Park unveiled his policy vision for education and care, emphasizing his commitment to establishing a comprehensive education and childcare system that covers all generations, from infants and youths to adults.

In particular, he presented the establishment of a new elementary school in Gwangmyeong District 2 (tentatively named Gwangmyeong Elementary School No. 1) as a core pledge. Park stated, "The creation of this new elementary school is a matter of educational rights and safety for our children. Even if the Office of Education takes a negative stance or raises various difficulties, I will never give up and will ensure the new school is established."

He added, "By continuously consulting with the Gwangmyeong Office of Education, the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, and related organizations, we will prepare administrative and financial support measures to make sure a solution is achieved."

He will also expand the Safe School Route Project to create a safer commuting environment for students. Plans include improving child protection zones, renovating pedestrian environments, and expanding safety facilities along school routes so that children can attend school with confidence and in safety.

Park also pledged to establish an AI Innovation Education Center to strengthen future education competitiveness. By developing AI and digital education programs and creating spaces to experience emerging technologies, the plan is to help students acquire the necessary skills for the era of artificial intelligence and digital transformation.

In the childcare sector, Park aims to realize state-mandated care by building a fully free and professional childcare system. He will increase meal subsidies for infants (aged 0 to 2), provide high-quality meals, and reduce the burden on parents through expanded public-centered care services.

Policies to support the growth of children and youths will also be strengthened. Plans include building a Youth Culture Complex Center, supporting experiential learning programs, and implementing ladder projects for youths to provide a variety of growth opportunities in education, culture, and career development.

Along with this, Park pledged to expand education and care infrastructure by establishing an integrated social complex facility for young children, opening a Gwangmyeong-style kids cafe, constructing the Gwangmyeong Lifelong Happiness School, and promoting the Gwangmyeong All-Village Campus project, aiming to create an environment where every citizen can enjoy learning and care throughout their entire life cycle.

Candidate Seungwon Park stated, "I will make Gwangmyeong a city of education where children and youths can grow up safely and dream freely, and where all citizens have the opportunity for lifelong learning."
