Hwasun-gun to Operate 'Village Literacy Classes on the Go' Starting the 13th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 9th that it will operate the ‘Village Literacy Class’ for seniors who missed learning opportunities due to economic and social difficulties starting from the 13th.

The Village Literacy Class will be held three times a week, two hours each session, starting from the 13th.

To this end, the county selected 37 villages wishing for literacy education through demand surveys in towns and townships last year and selected excellent literacy teachers.

Departing from the previous method of simple and repetitive learning tailored to the seniors’ level, from this year, the program will systematically operate elementary school grades 1 to 6 courses over three years and hold completion or graduation ceremonies.

Various events such as Literacy Golden Bell, poetry and painting exhibitions, and cultural experiences are also planned to enhance the sense of achievement and satisfaction in learning.

A county official said, “Literacy education is not simply about learning Hangul but a process that brings vitality and joy to seniors’ lives. We will actively support eliminating difficulties caused by not knowing Hangul and help them lead a vibrant old age.”

For more details, please contact the Lifelong Education Team of the General Affairs Division of the county.
