According to Osan City, Mayor Jo met Superintendent Ahn at the Gyeonggi Province superintendent's office on August 4 and presented eight key issues aimed at addressing increased educational demand resulting from the development of the Segyo district and the move-in of apartment residents.

The meeting was attended by Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly members representing Osan, officials from the Gyeonggi Province Office of Education, the Hwaseong Osan Office of Education, and Osan City. The participants agreed that close cooperation between the city and the Office of Education is essential to ensure that schools and educational facilities are expanded in a timely manner in step with the city's growth.

The issues proposed by Osan City include the timely establishment of the tentatively named 'Segyo 2-1 Integrated Elementary and Middle School,' the inclusion of youth activity facilities within complex facilities, the establishment of new middle schools in the Busandong and Wondong areas, and the division of the Hwaseong Osan Office of Education to create a dedicated Osan Office of Education.

Other proposals included utilizing the former Cheonghak Library, opening up school sports facilities for the Gyeonggi-do Sports Festival, securing electricity supply and parking lot use for the Mulhyanggi Cultural and Sports Center, improving the aging facilities at the Wondong Elementary School sports center, and constructing a new gymnasium at Unam Middle School.

In particular, the city emphasized the number of students and commuting conditions in each region, including the Segyo district, and requested that the school establishment process be expedited. They also stated that, given the rapidly increasing demand for educational administration, it is necessary to separate the Hwaseong Osan Office of Education and create an office dedicated to Osan.

Since the launch of the 9th popularly elected administration, Osan City has continued to consult with the Gyeonggi Province Office of Education and the Hwaseong Osan Office of Education on various educational issues. Local provincial assembly members are also working together by conveying the needs for new schools and improvements to the educational environment to the Office of Education.

Mayor Yongho Jo said, "Osan's educational issues are closely intertwined with the city's pace of growth and can no longer be postponed," adding, "By combining the efforts of the Gyeonggi Province Office of Education and local provincial assembly members, we will achieve tangible results in establishing new schools and improving the educational environment."
