Gyeonggi-do Supports Cyber GED Academic Qualification Acquisition
[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province will open and operate a curriculum for preparing for the GED exam online this year as well as last year.
On the 14th, Gyeonggi Province announced that it will carry out the 'Knowledge (GSEEK) Cyber GED Support Project,' which provides textbooks, online lectures, and offline educational activities for all subjects of the GED exam to educationally vulnerable groups below high school graduation level within the province.
Since last month, the province has been receiving recommendations for residents wishing to obtain academic qualifications through the GED exam via social welfare departments of 31 cities and counties, multicultural family support centers, and Hana Centers. So far, a total of 172 people (including marriage immigrant women and basic livelihood security recipients) have applied. The province will continue to recruit students until April.
The project operation budget is funded through the 'Learning Donation System' contributions from members using Knowledge (GSEEK).
The Learning Donation System is a learning donation program where any resident who completes an online course on Knowledge (GSEEK) accumulates a certain amount per course.
Last year, a total of 25 million KRW was raised, supporting 246 educationally vulnerable individuals. Among them, 96 succeeded in obtaining their final academic qualifications.

Kim Neung-sik, Director of Lifelong Education at the province, said, "Among the education recipients, marriage immigrant women often find it difficult to have their academic qualifications recognized domestically even if they obtained them in their home countries, which has limited their employment and social advancement. In particular, cost burdens and time constraints due to livelihood activities were obstacles, but through Knowledge (GSEEK), 77 marriage immigrant women achieved academic qualifications last year alone."
