Headline New School Inaugurated in Un Pyung

Caption Description The schools of Seoul were hard hit by the war. Most were destroyed, many were almost beyond repair, and those left reasonably intact were used as quarters by the fighting forces. The United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency's (UNKRA) program of classroom construction and repair, budgeted at $1,8 million in 1953, was continued into 1954 with an allocation of $1 million. On 10 December 1954, the first large school in the Seoul area completed with UNKRA funds was officially opened by Kim Tai Sun, Mayor of the Special City of Seoul. An 11-room structure, the new school seats 550 pupils and was constructed at a total cost of $17,600.

Here, a group of kids sneak to the rear of the new building to take a peek at the new classrooms while the inaugural ceremony was in progress on the other side of the structure.
