All six new school establishment projects promoted by the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education this year have passed the Ministry of Education's Central Investment Review.


The six newly approved schools are as follows: Gwangju 2nd High School (tentative name) in Gwangju, Gyosan 3rd High School (tentative name) in Hanam, Yeokgok 1st Elementary School (tentative name) and Daejang Special School (tentative name) in Bucheon, Ansan Singil 1st Elementary School (tentative name) in Ansan, and Broadcasting & Video Valley Elementary School (tentative name) in Goyang.


These new schools are part of a proactive response to the increase in student numbers following the move-in to multifamily housing complexes.


The establishment of Gwangju 2nd High School will help alleviate overcrowding in local high schools in Gwangju and provide a foundation for student placement in conjunction with housing development projects. Gyosan 3rd High School will be the first high school within the Hanam Gyosan District of the 3rd New Town Project. It is expected to contribute to ensuring a stable educational environment for students in the new city.

Additionally, with the establishment of Yeokgok 1st Elementary School in Bucheon, Ansan Singil 1st Elementary School in Ansan, and Broadcasting & Video Valley Elementary School in Goyang all passing the review, a stable system for student placement and commuting conditions in these new development districts is anticipated.


In particular, the Bucheon Daejang District, part of the 3rd New Town Project, plans to establish a special school, which is expected to improve education accessibility for students with special needs and further enhance the special education environment in the area. Daejang Special School will operate an integrated curriculum covering kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school, as well as specialized programs.



An official from the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education stated, "As a result of this Ministry of Education Central Investment Review, we have proactively secured the foundation for student placement in new towns and development districts and can prevent school overcrowding. At the same time, we will accelerate efforts to create a safe educational environment for students to commute to school."
