Jungnang District in Seoul is continuing its education-focused administration in the 9th local election term by enacting an ordinance to promote the activation of the education community as its first official approval. On July 1, Jungnang District announced that Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi had pushed forward the enactment of the "Ordinance to Support the Activation of the Education Community in Jungnang District, Seoul" as his first official approval in the 9th term.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang District, approved the "Seoul Jungnang-gu Education Community Activation Support Ordinance" as his first official approval of the 9th local election term. Provided by Jungnang District.

This ordinance was prepared to institutionally establish a student-centered education support system based on the expanded educational investments and infrastructure developed so far. It signifies a transition from merely increasing the educational budget to implementing qualitative education policies that focus on students' lives and growth.

During the 7th and 8th terms, Jungnang District made education a core value of its administration, increasing educational subsidies from 3.8 billion won in 2018 to 16 billion won this year, approximately a fourfold increase. In addition, the district established two Bang Jeong-hwan Education Support Centers and expanded educational infrastructure to improve the public education environment and increase educational opportunities.

Building on these achievements, the 9th term will further strengthen tailored education support for students and support for underprivileged groups, and expand policies supporting holistic growth, including cultural, artistic, and sports activities, psychological and emotional support, as well as career guidance and future competency development.

In addition, the district plans to establish a local community cooperation system centered around an education community involving students, parents, faculty, and schools, while laying the institutional foundation for sustainable education support.

Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi stated, "Starting the 9th term's first approval with the ordinance to vitalize the education community demonstrates our commitment to continue prioritizing education in district administration," adding, "We will make Jungnang a city of education where no one is left behind in learning."
