The ‘School Violence Prevention Intensive Support School’ project, which the Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education (Superintendent Seo Geo-seok) has been promoting with an intensive investment of KRW 600 million starting this year, is showing an effect in reducing school violence.

The Provincial Office of Education announced on the 12th that in order to prevent school violence, it has been selecting and operating 20 schools with a high incidence of school violence in the Jeonju, Gunsan, and Iksan areas as intensive support schools for school violence prevention since last March.

A teacher in charge of school violence at an elementary school in Jeonju said, “After being selected as a school for intensive school violence prevention support, the number of class hours decreased and I was able to focus on prevention education and early response to issues.”

Jeong Seong-hwan, head of the Democratic Citizenship Education Department at the Provincial Office of Education, emphasized, “According to the results of the operation of schools with intensive school violence prevention support, we will expand our future projects and take the lead in creating a peaceful and safe school culture.”
