[Asia Economy (Uijeongbu) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education announced on the 30th that it will provide an additional total of 12.8 billion KRW in operating expenses to 913 private kindergartens for March and April to stabilize private kindergartens.

The Gyeonggi Office of Education stated on the 30th that, despite government support, private kindergartens have not overcome operational difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, and it is the only provincial office of education nationwide to decide on additional support.

The Gyeonggi Office of Education will fully cover the difference for private kindergartens whose government subsidies did not reach the maximum limit.

Earlier, the Ministry of Education supported private kindergartens with educational course fees and after-school course fees for March and April as they faced operational difficulties due to the spread of COVID-19.

The maximum support amount for educational course fees is 140,000 KRW, and for after-school course fees, it is 24,300 KRW.

Meanwhile, out of 931 private kindergartens in the province, 922 applied, and only 9 of them received the maximum support amount. The remaining 913 did not reach the maximum limit.
