Providing 'Free College Entrance Counseling' for Low-Income Examinees in Songpa-gu

Songpa-gu and Uway Sign MOU to Support College Admission Counseling... Providing Online Admission Content to 250 Low-Income Examinees

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) is providing free college admission counseling services for low-income households' college entrance exam students.

The district stated that due to many changes in the 2021 college admission process caused by COVID-19, the information gap for vulnerable exam students has relatively widened.

Accordingly, on the 1st at 4 p.m., Songpa-gu Office signed a business agreement with the online education company Uway and will start supporting admission counseling until February next year.

Uway operates an admission content platform, providing online admission consulting and mock application services for early and regular admissions, as well as various admission analysis materials.

In particular, through its subsidiary Uway Apply, it handles application submissions for 350 universities nationwide and possesses diverse admission process data and acceptance statistics.

Through this business agreement, the district plans to provide high-quality admission content to 250 low-income exam students preparing for college admission in the region. Online admission content such as early admission acceptance diagnosis, regular admission acceptance diagnosis, and similarity checks for self-introduction letters will be provided.

The support targets are selected with recommendations from local community centers, welfare centers, and school principals, for those with median income at or below 100%.

At the signing ceremony, Uway CEO Seong Yun-seok said, “Based on accumulated admission data, we will provide high-quality counseling services and do our best to help youths in difficult environments achieve good results.”

Regarding this, Songpa-gu Mayor Park Seong-su stated, “Through Songpa-gu’s unique education support system ‘Songpa SSEM,’ we help everyone continue learning without exclusion,” and added, “Through this agreement, we will actively support youths who are relatively struggling amid the COVID-19 crisis to achieve their dreams of college admission.”
