What if every student could participate in group activities? They would be able to share their ideas freely. Don't you think it would be great? As time goes on, collaboration involving everyone is becoming increasingly important. But right now, our schools are missing real teamwork. Team-based learning is a way of learning in which every student works together, but right now, many students just stay quiet and don't participate equally. As a student in Chuncheon, I’ve seen many students left out during group work. If we increase team-based activities, these students will finally get the chance
Imagine having a student exchange program once a month. An exchange program is a program where you go to another country to learn about new topics. In the future, our schools should have an exchange program. It is good because it can help students decide their jobs. This will help us decide on our future jobs. For example, you could experience another country's culture and make a new dream. Many students in Korea are too shy to share their thoughts, so if they go to another country, they will realize they can say anything. An exchange program is not only good to help us decide on our future jo
Imagine classrooms that extend beyond walls, turning every park and street in Chuncheon into a learning lab. By 2036, Chuncheon should have a hybrid classroom-community network that will transform public spaces into interactive learning zones. The hybrid program, which links classrooms with community, encourages students to lead their own projects. Some people think that students prefer teacher-led instruction in the classroom rather than hybrid education that combines the community and the classroom. However, hybrid education that integrates the community and the classroom is more effective f
Imagine having a project-based learning program every year at school. Project-based learning is a program where you have no tests, but learn by doing. In the future, our school should have project-based learning. It is good because it helps students reduce stress. For example, in Chuncheon, many students feel a lot of stress because of written tests and study late into the night. We should try to create happy classrooms without test stress for a better future.
Sports and Movement Science is a new school subject for students. It will start in elementary school grade 4. This subject helps students avoid injuries, become stronger, and play sports better. Students learn stretching, body movement, and ways to make their bodies stronger. They can practice in the gym, classroom, and playground. This class is especially helpful for students who want to become future athletes.
Let me tell you about Gongjicheon’s sad story. I saw piles of trash near the water, including plastic bottles and food containers. This beautiful river is slowly being damaged by careless littering. Trash pollution has become a serious problem in Gongjicheon. According to Yonhap News, many visitors left large amounts of trash in Gongjicheon Park after the cherry blossom season in April 2024. Plastic bottles, disposable food containers, cans, and cigarette butts were found around the park and near the river. This problem does not only damage the beautiful scenery but also harms the environment.
Have you ever been to Gongji Stream? Well, I have been to Gongji Stream. I saw pretty streams and rode a swan boat. They were so fun! But the stream is getting dirty because... First, the water stops flowing. Gongjicheon flows down to meet Lake Uiam. When the water level at Uiam Dam stays high, Gongji Stream's water gets blocked and cannot flow. Because the water just sits there, dirt and sediment build up at the bottom, making the stream dirty. Second, warmer weather brings smelly algae. In spring, brown algae stuck to the rocks floats up to the surface. As it rots, it smells bad and ruins th
Rethinking the Way We Handle the High School Credit System (고교학점제) School should not be a place where every student is forced into the same mold, but a space where different talents and dreams are nurtured. The High School Credit System (고교학점제), scheduled to be fully implemented in Korea by 2025, is a bold step toward personalized learning. Its goal is to give students more choice in what they study — allowing them to take courses that match their interests, abilities, and future goals, much like in a university setting. But as the system moves from theory to practice, important challenges are
Rethinking the Way We Handle School Violence School should be a place where students feel safe, respected, and able to learn freely. However, in recent years, a growing number of reports have shown that school violence — including bullying, verbal abuse, and even physical aggression — continues to be a serious problem in Korea. More concerning is the fact that the current response system often fails to protect victims effectively or to solve the root causes of the problem. If we want real change, it is time to examine what is going wrong and what must be done differently. ◇ What’s Not Working?
In our rapidly changing world, fairness and respect are values that matter more than ever. As young people grow up in a society filled with diverse identities, it is important that they are taught not just how to study, but how to understand and care about those around them. One of the key lessons that should be part of every student's learning journey is gender sensitivity. In Korean, this is called 성인지 감수성, which means the ability to recognize, understand, and respond respectfully to gender differences and inequalities. Teaching gender sensitivity in schools is not just helpful — it is essen
