[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] Gyeongsangnam-do is jointly supporting the 'online school opening' for local children together with Korea South-East Power and Gyeongnam Bank.

On the 16th, Gyeongnam Province announced that Governor Kim Kyung-soo, Korea South-East Power President Yoo Hyang-yeol, and Gyeongnam Bank President Hwang Yoon-chul attended a 'Public Institution Idle Computer Donation Ceremony.'

This donation ceremony was promoted to support low-income students who do not have computers or have outdated ones and thus find it difficult to participate in classes among students who started online school due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Korea South-East Power donated idle computers and peripherals, and Gyeongnam Bank donated 200 sets of monitors, headsets, speakers, and computer operating systems respectively.

Starting from the 17th, the province will sequentially support 89 local children's centers in 14 cities and counties within the province, including Changwon-si Eoullim Local Children's Center and Gimhae-si Didimdol Local Children's Center, which were identified as hopeful demand sites in advance through the Gyeongnam Volunteer Center, with the donated idle computers and equipment.
