The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education announced "We will resume the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education Competition for Superintendent of Education, which has been suspended since 2019 to foster future athletic talents and strengthen support for basic and vulnerable sports."
The competition is designed to provide opportunities for Seoul's student-athletes to fully demonstrate their skills, focusing on events that have raised difficulties in fostering student-athletes and falling grades at the National Youth Sports Festival. The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education and the Seoul Sports Council jointly host the "Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education Competition for Superintendent of Education" and the Seoul Sports Council, and the association for each event is organized by investing professional personnel such as referees and operating personnel. The two organizations signed a business agreement in July and set aside a budget of 100 million won each to operate the competition. In September, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education and the Seoul Sports Council's School Sports Committee discussed ways to support the operation of the competition. In the future, we plan to continue close cooperation for the expansion of stocks and stable operation.
After six years, the Seoul Metropolitan Superintendent of Education Competition will be held in a total of 13 sports, including basic sports such as track and field, swimming, and gymnastics, and a total of 2,600 elementary, middle, and high school students will participate. Soft tennis, boxing, yacht, wrestling, bowling, badminton, tennis, horseback riding, and baseball and hockey are operated as individual events. The first competition began as a rhythmic gymnastics event on the 25th of last month, and will be held sequentially at stadiums in each region of Seoul until the badminton competition on December 14.
Chung Geun-sik, superintendent of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, said, `We expect that through this competition, students will learn the sports spirit of showing their skills, competing fairly, and challenging honestly"We will spare no support for Seoul students to grow into excellent athletic talents by creating a new wind in basic and vulnerable sports."I promised.
