Hwaseong Mayor Jung Myung-geun, "I will certainly bring in Hwaseong Science High School and expand general high schools"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Lee Su-won] Hwaseong Mayor Jung Myung-geun stated, "I will solve not only bringing in a science high school to Hwaseong, but also address the shortage of high schools."

Mayor Jung expressed at the 'Hwaseong City Science High School Recruitment-Related Current Issues Meeting' held on the 20th at the Dongtan Branch Office of Hwaseong City with members of the Hwaseong City Council from the Democratic Party that "Education is a centuries-long endeavor and an important matter that determines the nation's future," and stated, "I will certainly bring in a Hwaseong Science High School to foster excellent talented individuals and improve the region's educational infrastructure, and will actively coordinate with educational authorities using various measures to expand general high schools to solve the long-distance commute problem and overcrowded classroom issues that parents are facing."

At the meeting, Mayor Jung Myung-geun and city council members reached a consensus that the recruitment of a science high school to Hwaseong City, which has grown into a city of one million with special status, would greatly enhance talent cultivation and the city's brand value.

Meanwhile, Hwaseong City has carefully reviewed the necessity and feasibility of science high school recruitment since November of last year, and in June of this year, concluded an MOU with the Hwaseong and Osan Office of Education and the Hwaseong City Research Institute for the establishment of a science high school.

Additionally, the Hwaseong City Research Institute is conducting a 'Science High School Establishment Feasibility Study,' and is making every effort to recruit a 'Gyeonggi-type Science High School' by sharing the results of a public opinion survey on science high school recruitment through an interim report meeting on the 3rd of this month and gathering opinions.
