[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam County is expanding the eligibility for university tuition support for multi-child families to include children from the third child onward.

On the 15th, Haenam County announced that through the multi-child family university tuition support program, the support, which was previously provided from the fourth child onward, has been expanded to include the third child onward.

To this end, the Haenam County Multi-Child Family Support Ordinance was revised last August, and support will begin in the second half of this year.

The tuition support target is households that have lived in Haenam County for more than three years and are raising three or more children. Tuition support is available from the third child onward who is enrolled in a university.

Support is provided up to 1.5 million KRW per semester for up to 8 semesters. If tuition support is received from national or other institutions, the difference will be supported within the 1.5 million KRW limit.

Families wishing to receive tuition support can apply at their local eup/myeon office by October 16. For more details, inquiries can be made to the Population Policy Division Women's Childcare Team.

Meanwhile, Haenam County provides support such as newborn health insurance, middle and high school uniforms, and high school and university tuition for families with three or more children, and diaper purchase costs for families with two or more children.

A Haenam County official stated, “To reduce the economic burden on families raising children, we have expanded university tuition support to start from the third child,” adding, “We will continue to strive to create a stable child-rearing environment for our residents.”
