The 'Ordinance on Preventing and Supporting Students from Heatwave Damage in Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Education Office' proposed by Yun Jung-hoon, a member of the Education Committee of the Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Council (from Muju), was passed in the Education Committee on the 13th.

This ordinance was established to protect the health and safety of students from heatwaves caused by the climate crisis and to strengthen the institutional response system in educational settings. The main contents include provisions on the purpose and definition of the ordinance, specifying the duties of the Superintendent of Education, establishing a heatwave prevention implementation plan, building response systems, and promoting prevention projects.

Yun emphasized, "Heatwaves are recurring everyday disasters, and proactive responses are necessary to protect students' right to health and learning environment." If the ordinance passes the plenary session, substantive response projects such as inspection of cooling facilities and provision of emergency treatment supplies will be implemented.

The ordinance is expected to receive final approval at the 419th regular session of the council on the 25th.
