The Issue of Overcrowding in Jeonggwan High Schools Addressed with 'Sinjeong High Second Campus'
The overcrowding issue of high schools in the Jeonggwan area of Busan is reaching a new turning point. The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has decided to establish the 'Sinjeong High School Second Campus' in order to accommodate new students starting from the 2027 school year. This has raised hopes for resolving the long-standing high school overcrowding phenomenon in the Jeonggwan area.
The Busan Superintendent emphasized the importance of this decision by stating, "We have prepared a tailored solution to guarantee students' learning rights and broaden the choice of schools." It is expected that such changes will have a positive impact on the local educational environment.
The Overcrowding Situation in Jeonggwan Area, the Reality of New High School Establishment is Challenging
Currently, the number of students per class in regular high schools in the Jeonggwan area exceeds 30, resulting in a poor educational environment. Although two schools, Jeonggwan High and Sinjeong High, are in operation, the number of students expected to enroll continues to increase year by year. Particularly, forecasts indicate that the number of high school students in the Jeonggwan area will increase by 2030, raising concerns that current facilities will not be able to accommodate them.
However, there is only one potential site within the Jeonggwan area for establishing a new high school, and the construction of nearby apartments and multi-family housing is practically completed. For these reasons, the education office has assessed that the feasibility of establishing an additional high school in the medium to long term is low.
Utilizing Jeonggwan 4 High Land, Promoting Efficient Overcrowding Relief with 'Modular Classrooms'
The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has decided to utilize the land of Jeonggwan 4 High, located at 1232 Dalsan-ri, Jeonggwan-myeon, reflecting the current practical constraints. This site is where the Sinjeong High Second Campus is planned to be built, consisting of a total of 15 modular classrooms. This campus is scheduled to operate only during a period of rapid student population growth.
Modular classrooms are gaining attention as innovative educational infrastructure that can respond effectively to changes in student numbers due to their ease of installation and dismantling, as well as high space utilization. The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education plans to quickly proceed with the necessary administrative procedures to ensure that this campus can accommodate new students as early as the 2027 school year.
Holding an Informational Meeting for Parents, Comprehensive Measures Considering Local Balance
The Busan Education Office will hold an explanatory meeting for parents in the Jeonggwan area on July 30 at 5 PM in the auditorium of Sinjeong High School. This meeting will detail the background and specific plans for the establishment of the second campus. Administrative schedule for procedures, campus operation strategies, and future student demand forecasts will also be provided during this session.
In addition, the education office plans to work simultaneously on improving the educational environment of nearby small high schools to promote balanced development among schools in the area. This indicates that the effort is not merely about increasing space, but aims to enhance the quality of education and overall conditions.
Conclusion: Will Sinjeong High Second Campus Become a New Model for Tailored High School Education in the Area?
The establishment plan for the Sinjeong High Second Campus is being recognized as a practical alternative for solving the overcrowded class issue in the Jeonggwan area. It is receiving positive evaluations because it reduces costs through the flexible structure of modular classrooms and the utilization of idle land, allowing for tailored responses to local demands.
In particular, this measure is expected to receive significant support from the community and parents as it is not merely a temporary solution, but a proactive step to protect students' learning rights and improve the future educational environment. There is increasing interest in the positive changes that the education office’s initiatives and their outcomes will bring to educational policies across Busan. It will be exciting to see how this unfolds in the future.
