Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education, 'University Student Mentoring' for 300 Children Alone During Vacation

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 31st that it will operate a 'University Student Mentoring' system to support educationally vulnerable children living alone during the vacation period.

About 300 elementary and middle school students from grandparent-headed families, single-parent families, and others, who are expected to face significant educational and care gaps during the vacation, will be matched one-on-one with university student mentors. The mentoring system will be primarily conducted online until the end of August.

This mentoring program consists of mentors who are prospective teachers from education and teacher training universities, providing not only emotional support and life guidance but also learning support to help bridge educational gaps.

A representative from the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education said, "We hope that through university student mentoring during the vacation, children living alone will be connected with university students to receive warm care and have opportunities to supplement their learning."
