Busan Elementary School Age Population, 2025 Status in Tables
Analyzing the elementary school age population in Busan for 2025 shows that in most areas, excluding new large-scale school districts, the number of first graders is less than that of sixth graders. This indicates that a serious decline in school age population is already underway, especially concerning the significant decrease in student numbers in unpopular areas.
In some regions, the number of first graders compared to sixth graders drops below 60%, while schools like Onsaem Elementary, Geumjeong Elementary, Haeundae Elementary, Mujeong Elementary, and Myeongji Elementary are noted as exceptional cases with larger numbers of new students. This reflects a polarization phenomenon where the situation in school districts greatly fluctuates based on the presence or absence of redevelopments, new cities, and large-scale constructions.
The table below organizes major elementary schools in Busan by district to show the number and proportion of first and sixth graders for 2025. This data can serve as an important reference for future school district and education policies.
