More than 100 schoolchildren in this mountainous village had had difficulty in attending school because of a lake made during the waterway construction.

The province drew up a project for establishing a branch school in the village for the pupils attending Ungchon Senior Middle School and building a commuter boat for the junior and senior class students, and took necessary measures to carry out the project, concentrating all efforts on it.

After all, the branch school appeared in a sunny place near the village and a commuter boat was successfully built in a short period of time.

On Tuesday, the branch school opened and the commuter boat started its service.
