They warn that more provisions could face rejection if education-related content from general autonomy clauses is considered.<\/p>\n<p>Officials particularly highlighted the lack of adequate financial support mechanisms in the bill to address the increased administrative and educational needs resulting from the merger. They argue that a new &#8220;Special Educational Grant for Integration&#8221; should be explicitly included as a separate funding provision.<\/p>\n<p><!--\uad11\uace0\uc601\uc5ed 241017--><!--\/\/\uad11\uace0\uc601\uc5ed 241017--><\/p>\n<p>The education office emphasized that bridging the educational disparities between Jeonnam and Gwangju and maximizing integration benefits requires more than just administrative consolidation.
