[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-seong] Osan City announced that its plan to establish a specialized high school, Segyeo Software High School (provisional name), in Segyeo 2 District, passed the Ministry of Education's Central Investment Review Committee conditionally on January 25.
The newly established Segyeo Software High School aims to open in March 2025 and will accommodate 300 students across 15 classrooms. The school will feature departments including Software Development, Embedded Software, and Information Security, positioning itself as a cradle for nurturing software talent in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Meanwhile, Osan City's Segyeo High School was selected as a leading school for SW Education (AI Education Pilot Project) by the Ministry of Education in 2020, and is expected to accelerate AI talent development.
The city is also promoting linked educational curricula between high schools and universities. Segyeo High School plans to leverage university expertise by linking with Kwangwoon University's Robotics Department for specialized educational programs and club activities.
To support students' robot education, Kwangwoon Academy provided 40 robot kits last year and is supporting teacher training at Segyeo High School this year.
Additionally, Unам High School plans to support IT-specialized educational programs through partnership with Seoul National University of Science and Technology, where a new IT (Information Technology) convergence department has been established.
Furthermore, to build human and material foundations, the city will conduct professional training for AI convergence subject teachers and all faculty members, and will establish educational spaces for creative and convergent classrooms.
Osan Mayor Gwak Sang-wook stated, "We will continue to cooperate with related institutions so that Segyeo Software High School can serve as a vocational education hub connecting educational infrastructure with local industrial infrastructure," and added, "We will devote all administrative support so that future talent fostered here will be creative leaders suited to the AI era, the axis of future society."
