[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseonghun) will provide closure support funds to academies and private institutes that voluntarily closed to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.


The district will provide 1 million KRW per business, once only, to academies and private institutes in the area that voluntarily closed for 14 days or more (excluding Sundays and public holidays) during the period from February 24 to April 19.


The support targets a total of 369 locations, including 217 academies and 152 private institutes registered with the Seoul Southern Office of Education.


Businesses wishing to apply for the closure support fund must submit the closure support fund application form, closure certificate (issued by the Southern Office of Education), a copy of the business registration certificate, a copy of the representative’s ID, and a copy of the bankbook to the Education Support Division of Geumcheon-gu Office via email (juni6928@geumcheon.go.kr) or fax (2251-1775) between April 16 and 24.


To prevent the spread of COVID-19, in-person submissions will not be accepted. The application form can be downloaded from the ‘Geumcheon News’ and ‘Notices & Announcements’ sections on the Geumcheon-gu website.


The district plans to review the submitted documents for eligibility and make payments in May.



Yuseonghun, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “We express our gratitude to the academies and private institute staff who actively participated from the early stages to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Although the closure support fund is not a large amount, we will relax the eligibility requirements as much as possible to ensure that it is provided to all those experiencing business difficulties.”
