[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Wando Office of Education School Support Center announced on the 23rd that it held a 'Council for the Prevention of School Dropout and Support for Out-of-School Youth.'

At this meeting, professionals from the Wando-gun Out-of-School Youth Support Center, Youth Culture House, Healthy Family Multicultural Family Support Center, and Wando Police Station gathered to share ideas on alternative education programs aimed at preventing school dropout.

They also prepared protection and support measures for students at risk of dropping out and out-of-school youth.

Through the meeting, ideas were exchanged regarding psychological counseling, vocational education, and cultural and craft experience programs operated by each institution, and measures to address problems arising during program operation were shared.

An official from the Wando Office of Education said, “We will regularly hold councils to communicate with the local community for the prevention of school dropout and support for out-of-school youth, and plan to operate ‘visiting customized alternative education programs’ tailored to the needs of students and schools.”

Jang Gi-myeong, head of the School Support Center, stated, “We will spare no support to provide help, attention, and new learning opportunities to students at risk of dropping out and out-of-school youth.”
