[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 30th that it held an appointment ceremony for 16 adult literacy education instructors in the large conference room of the county office.

The instructors appointed that day were those who obtained qualifications as adult literacy education instructors and were selected through a strict screening process including document review and interviews.

The county will operate 19 “visiting literacy classes” at senior centers and village halls from April to December through the appointed instructors.

In addition, two literacy classes recognized for elementary school equivalency and one middle school equivalency qualification program will be conducted together.

The county plans to promote safe and continuous classes by combining face-to-face and non-face-to-face lessons depending on the COVID-19 situation.

Lee Jae-geun, the mayor of Sancheong-gun, said, “Adult literacy education is an educational welfare project that allows seniors who missed learning opportunities due to difficult living conditions in the past to enjoy learning and have their academic achievements recognized,” adding, “We will actively strive to operate various literacy education courses in the future.”

Meanwhile, Sancheong-gun has achieved various results through continuous adult literacy education and operation of qualification exam learning programs.

In particular, among the 16 seniors who took the elementary school equivalency qualification exam held in mid-August last year, 7 passed the final exam and 2 passed some subjects, fulfilling their dream of returning to education.
