[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Shin Woo-cheol) announced on the 8th that it has been selected for the 'Jeollanam-do Lifelong Education Activation Support Project' hosted by Jeollanam-do.

This public contest project was promoted to improve the quality of life of residents and foster local communities with the purpose of eliminating lifelong education disparities between cities and counties and ensuring equal lifelong learning rights for residents through the expansion of lifelong education.

The contest fields consisted of four areas: operation of Eup/Myeon Happy Learning Centers, support for activation of lifelong learning for the disabled, establishment of a lifelong education database, and support for specialization of lifelong education in Jeollanam-do cities and counties.

Wando-gun was previously selected for the lifelong education database establishment contest project in 2015 and the lifelong education activation support project in March of this year. Without overlapping, it applied for and was selected in the operation of Eup/Myeon Happy Learning Centers and the activation project for lifelong learning for the disabled, achieving a great success.

With this contest project selection, small-scale lifelong education courses for the disabled will be opened to provide opportunities for the disabled to enjoy leisure, and the project is planned to be promoted by August.

Meanwhile, Wando-gun secured 48 million KRW in national funds after being selected for the 'Adult Literacy Education Support Project' hosted by the Ministry of Education in February, and in March, it was also selected for the 'Regional Lifelong Education Activation Support Project (Lifelong Learning City Specialization Support)' hosted by the Ministry of Education.

In particular, after switching to a direct operation system this year, Wando-gun is the only region in Jeollanam-do to have three lifelong education contest projects selected.
