SEOUL, February 19 (AJP) - Former Seoul National University president Sung Nak-in was appointed as a new chairman of a non-profit foundation dedicated to promoting school safety and youth education on Tuesday.

Founded in 1999 with the late Cardinal Stephen Kim Sou-hwan as its first chairman, the foundation has been instrumental in raising awareness about school safety while providing educational resources and scholarships to underprivileged students to support their education.

A vetted academic, Sung served as a presidential adviser for education reform and also as a legal adviser for a committee under the Ministry of Justice, where he played a key role in enacting laws aimed at enhancing school education in 2005. He has also written numerous books to help improve understanding of legal issues.

"With my extensive experience and expertise, I will dedicate myself to creating a more secure society with fewer conflicts and greater legal justice," said Sung as he began his new role as the fifth chairman of the foundation.
