교육부, 학교 통폐합 인센티브 확대…학부모 동의 요건도 폐지

The Ministry of Education is expanding incentives for school mergers and closures, aiming to address declining student populations in certain areas. Previously, parental consent was a significant hurdle for such consolidations. However, the ministry has decided to abolish the requirement for parental agreement, streamlining the process for school restructuring. This move is expected to facilitate more efficient resource allocation and improve educational environments in schools facing enrollment challenges.

This policy change aims to proactively manage declining student numbers and optimize educational resources across the country.
