Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education: "Lump-Sum Collection of Alumni Association Fees from Current Students Not Allowed"… Comprehensive School Survey Conducted

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education announced on the 27th that it will conduct a survey by the 31st targeting all schools in the province to improve the practice of uniformly collecting alumni association fees from enrolled students.

According to Article 5 of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education Special Account Financial Accounting Rules and Article 25 of the Public School Accounting Rules, schools cannot collect revenue from students beyond the revenue specified by laws, ordinances, or regulations.

Through this survey, the Office of Education aims to prevent school staff from collecting alumni association fees from enrolled students as a customary practice upon the request of alumni associations.

Auditor Lee Eun-mi stated, "Through institutional improvements in alumni association operations, cases of uniformly collecting alumni fees, which have been unreasonably practiced as a custom, will disappear. We will also identify other unreasonable practices and improve the system to strive for the development of transparent Gyeongbuk education."
