[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] The Gyeongnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 27th that it will support Gyeongnam agricultural product packages to the homes of all elementary, middle, and high school students in the province.

The Office of Education decided to provide agricultural product packages worth approximately 30,000 KRW to the homes of all students using the 11.2 billion KRW budget for free school meals, which could not be used for a long time due to the delay in school reopening.

An official from the Office stated, "This package support is expected not only to promote the consumption of agricultural products for school meals but also to alleviate the economic burden on each household and help resolve the blind spots in meal support for vulnerable groups."
