Gyeonggi Province Governor Nam Kyung-pil and Gyeonggi Province Education Superintendent Lee Jae-jeong held a joint press conference on their first anniversary of taking office on the morning of the 30th in the briefing room of Gyeonggi Province Government Building.

At the event, Governor Nam and Education Superintendent Lee stated, "We will make joint efforts to expand local education finance."

They further said, "Through mutual consultation, we will successfully carry out educational cooperation projects" and "We will focus on improving educational facilities such as aging restrooms in elementary schools."

To promote such projects, the Province and the Office of Education agreed to regularly hold "3+3 consultative meetings" with the participation of the First Deputy Governor, the Deputy Governor for Social Integration, the First Vice Superintendent of Education, and the Second Vice Superintendent of Education.

Additionally, regarding the "Dream Classroom" project, a support program for elementary school students attending school before 9 a.m., it was agreed that the program would be operated within a scope that does not undermine the basic purpose of "9 o'clock attendance" being promoted by the Provincial Office of Education.

Outside of this, the Province and the Provincial Office of Education agreed to work together on "developing a future-type theme park and concierge services" themed on creativity, personality, and respect for life.

A provincial official stated, "A joint press conference on the first anniversary of the governor and superintendent taking office is unprecedented," and added, "Taking this opportunity, the Province and the Provincial Office of Education will work together and do our best for the happiness and well-being of the residents."
