Jungnang-gu Announces Call for Institutions to Conduct Continuous Support Projects for Slow Learners

Training Village Teachers for Slow Learners, Learning and Emotional Support Projects for Slow Learners... Supporting Growth through Cultivating Basic Learning Skills of Slow Learners

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) is inviting applications from institutions to carry out a continuous support project for slow learners.

This public offering, conducted as part of the 2020 Jungnang Innovation Education District project, is open for applications until the 28th.

"Slow learners" are individuals with borderline intelligence who have somewhat limited learning ability and reading comprehension, facing difficulties in social adaptation, but are often not eligible for support because they are not legally classified as disabled.

Accordingly, the district aims to contribute to eliminating blind spots through the continuous support project for slow learners.

Eligible applicants are organizations or institutions located in Jungnang-gu that include community teachers who have sufficient understanding of slow learners and experience in supporting their learning. They must also have an operational plan capable of strengthening the capabilities of slow learner community teachers.

The selected institutions will receive subsidies up to 15 million KRW to provide learning and emotional support for slow learners.

They will also train slow learner community teachers and cooperate with the Eastern Learning Support Center within the Eastern Education Support Office to help cultivate basic learning abilities of slow learners in elementary schools.

Applications can be submitted by visiting the Jungnang Innovation Education District Task Support Team (☎439-9890~1) with the required documents or by email (hh12345@citizen.seoul.kr). For more details, inquiries can be made to the Jungnang Innovation Education District Task Support Team.

Last year, the continuous support project for slow learners conducted eight programs to enhance social adaptability, including social skills improvement programs, book therapy, food therapy, and music therapy, with a total of 65 participants. This year, the focus will be on operating continuous programs for the healthy growth of slow learners rather than short-term experiential activities.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, "Slow learners just need a little more time than others," and added, "Jungnang-gu will support slow learners to grow into confident members of society."
