Since the sinking of the Sewol ferry in April 2014, public interest in student safety has increased, and the government is also doing its best to prepare countermeasures for this. In this regard, the Ministry of Education is making great efforts to reinforce safety education at the school level for major accidents.
The School Safety Research Institute, which was designated as a Policy Focus Research Institute by the Ministry of Education in October 2014, has conducted research in the second phase of continuing tasks ('17.10.16.~'20.10.15.) to support the Ministry of Education's school safety policy for the past three years. Analysis of school safety status, development of safety education programs for students and teachers, safety diagnosis of educational facilities, plans to expand student safety experience facilities, development of safety management manuals and checklists that can be used in education sites, practical response training plans, psychological support systems A variety of policy studies have been conducted, including construction, and not only in early, elementary, and secondary education, but also in the field of higher education.
The institute has designated school safety as a major research area, and focuses on securing competitiveness by improving the level of policy research and development, strengthening expertise and research capability, and establishing an efficient policy support system so that my competency related to school safety can meet international standards in the future. We are implementing the set operational task.
School safety education, which begins at school, has specialized and specialized in school safety research, which lays the foundation for national safety, and above all, safety education in schools that involves ‘safety first’and ‘personality that cares for others’. The research institute is establishing its status.
In the meantime, it can be seen that the basic framework of school safety has been established from an institutional perspective, and the School Safety Research Center is a safety oriented school focusing on the actual state and current status data of school safety established through the first-stage policy research in the implementation of the second-stage research project. A data-based field oriented policy study was conducted to establish the culture and secure the effectiveness of safety education.
In the first year, literature studies and surveys were conducted to review documents, academic data, and prior studies of government departments related to school safety. In addition, a three year basic plan for school safety accident prevention, comparative analysis of safety school models of international organizations, efficiency measures for school safety management, basic research for setting general standards for school safety education, and research on authority and responsibility for each subject of safety management in university laboratories are conducted. Thus, major policy tasks for safety education were discovered and presented.
In the second year, detailed tasks according to the basic plan will be studied in-depth, development of an integrated school safety management manual, measures to improve separation of pedestrian roads for student safety in schools, a practical manual for responding to disasters, a plan to establish a university safety management system, and safety of school facilities. Developed and provided research, etc. for the development of remote training contents for inspection.
In the 3rd year, research on the strategy of establishing a school safety prevention system using advanced technology in the 4th industry, an analysis of major overseas university safety management cases, a study on the comprehensive school safety management support plan, and a plan to improve the educational effect of the operation of student safety experience facilities. By carrying out and providing it, basic research was conducted and provided to the Ministry of Education's announcement of the policy to improve school safety accident management support(2020.10) and enacting the revised legislation of the ‘Higher Education Act’ that regulates the establishment and implementation of the university safety management plan.
