[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongbuk Province announced on the 29th that, as of January 1, 2021, it will integrate the Gyeongbuk Scholarship Foundation and the Gyeongsangbuk-do Lifelong Education Promotion Institute to newly launch the Gyeongsangbuk-do Talent Lifelong Education Promotion Institute (Chairman Governor Lee Cheol-woo).

The launch of the Gyeongsangbuk-do Talent Lifelong Education Promotion Institute, based in the Gyeongbuk Dormitory located in Gyeongsan City, is expected by Gyeongbuk Province to serve as an opportunity to maximize administrative and financial efficiency and synergy effects through the integration of similar institutions under the Ministry of Education.

The Gyeongbuk Scholarship Foundation, which has been dedicated to nurturing talent centered around the Gyeongbuk Dormitory, will subdivide its organization into the Administrative Scholarship Team and Dormitory Operation Team, expanding its business areas to scholarship projects and talent development.

Additionally, the Gyeongsangbuk-do Lifelong Education Promotion Institute, which had been entrusted to operate at Daegu University and then Gyeongbuk Provincial University since June 2013, has been incorporated as the Gyeongsangbuk-do Talent Lifelong Education Promotion Institute, securing independence and representation as a specialized lifelong education institution.

With the incorporation of the Lifelong Education Promotion Institute, the Gyeongbuk Citizen Happiness University will open with a Citizen University Headquarters within the institute, along with campuses in 19 cities and counties including Pohang, which participated after demand surveys conducted in the cities and counties. The Citizen Happiness University is a Gyeongbuk-type lifelong education system offering a one-year systematic curriculum designed to eliminate lifelong education disparities between regions and provide high-quality education accessible to all citizens.

Governor Lee Cheol-woo stated, "The launch of the Gyeongsangbuk-do Talent Lifelong Education Promotion Institute will be an opportunity for the growth and leap forward of talent development and lifelong education in Gyeongbuk," adding, "We will do our best to lead regional growth through investment in people via education and learning and to create a happy Gyeongbuk for its citizens."
