Support for Tuition Fees Linked with Academies for About 20 Children from Low-Income Families... National Supplementary Education Council Central District Chapter and 7 Academies Collaborate... The District Selects Recipients and Supports 50% of Tuition Fees (Up to 150,000 KRW per Month)

Jongno-gu signed a business agreement for the 'Kkumnalgae Project' with the Central District Council of the National Supplementary Education Association in April of last year.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jongno-gu (Mayor Kim Young-jong) will promote the '2020 Dream Wings Project,' which supports tuition fees in connection with academies for children from low-income families until December.

The district is conducting the 'Dream Wings Project' to support low-income youth with fewer learning opportunities due to economic difficulties to develop their individual abilities, prepare for the future, and grow as members of society.

This project is carried out jointly by ▲Jongno-gu ▲National Supplementary Education Council Central District Chapter ▲academies and tutoring centers. The support targets about 20 elementary, middle, and high school students from low-income families such as basic livelihood security recipients, near-poverty class, and single-parent families. Seven academies participate.

The district selects recipients through recommendations from 17 community service centers in the area and supports 50% of the tuition fees, with a maximum support amount of 150,000 KRW per person per month.

The National Supplementary Education Council manages the participating academies and support details, linking and monitoring the recipients and academies.

Academies and tutoring centers provide the remaining tuition fees, excluding the district's support amount, in the form of talent donation. They also prepare monthly learning reports to manage the recipients' learning attitudes and prevent unauthorized absences.

Muaak-dong, together with the Dong Community Social Security Council, delivered school bags and sneakers to six near-poverty class youths preparing to enter middle and high school on the 13th.

Welfare committee members of the Dong Community Social Security Council allowed the recipients to select the items themselves and delivered the items along with handwritten letters containing messages congratulating their graduation and entrance and encouraging a new start.

Mayor Kim Young-jong said, “I thank the sponsors who helped make the Dream Wings Project possible and the National Supplementary Education Council Central District Chapter. We will establish a cooperative system with the local community to ensure that children do not lose their dreams and can prepare for the future, providing continuous welfare services.”
