Abstract

Founded in 2018, the Technical High School for Girls Choi Jung Sook in the Republic
 of Burundi is the nation's only girls' high school. It was established with the support of
 the Choi Jung Sook Memorial Society from Jeju Island, South Korea, using a
 governance-type CDSM (Community Driven School Making) method. This paper
 examines the specifics of this CDSM approach, the roles that residents, government, and
 experts played in the governance during the establishment process of the Technical
 High School for Girls Choi Jung Sook, and the educational significance of such a
 community-led approach. The CDSM method reflects the important educational principle
 that education should be closely connected with the local community, not just in terms
 of physical environment. Furthermore, this approach fosters a community of learners and
 strengthens the local community, thereby aiding regional development. With its
 underlying educational significance, the Technical High School for Girls Choi Jung Sook
 aids in overcoming the feminization of poverty, promoting women's rights, and enhancing
 educational fairness. Furthermore, in its commitment to cultivating proactive leaders
 capable of addressing local and national issues, the school offers a new direction for
 African female secondary education.
