[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Nowon-gu District Office (Mayor Oh Seung-rok) has established a customized education support system where students and parents can receive necessary educational information and counseling in one place, and will begin full-scale operation from the 14th.

The 'Nowon Education Platform' located in a standalone building on the ground floor within the Junggok Heights Aqua apartment complex in Junggye-dong, an area densely populated with elementary schools, has a total area of 289.7㎡.

The center's name was set as NEP, derived from the initials of Nowon Education Platform.

The detailed facilities include ▲ a large lecture hall and small lecture rooms for lectures such as career and college entrance academies ▲ three counseling rooms for career, college entrance, and study planning consultations ▲ and a study cafe where visitors can freely study and relax.

The detailed operation programs consist of parent lectures with a cultural lecture character and learning and college entrance programs for students. Reflecting the high response to the 1:1 career and college entrance consulting, school explanation sessions, and parent academies that were piloted until last year, the system allows continuous use of entrance exam consulting, which has been dependent on private education.

Additionally, a 'Nowon-type customized counseling system' has been established to enable comprehensive and continuous management rather than fragmented and one-time approaches. Through diagnosis, individual learning capabilities and psychological issues are identified, and professional consultants provide subject-specific learning management, comprehensive learning coaching, and career and college entrance consulting.

Cooperation with related local institutions is also in place. By collaborating with Dream Start, Youth Counseling Welfare Center, and others, vulnerable children and adolescents are actively identified and provided with learning motivation and learning strategies to strengthen their self-directed learning capabilities.

Meanwhile, NEP has been providing grade-specific career, college entrance, and learning counseling services since March before its official opening. These include the 'Korean, Math, English Mock Exam Clinic' (high school grades 1?3), 'Child Education (Reading) Counseling' (elementary grades 1?4), 'Career and College Entrance Counseling' (elementary grade 5 to high school grade 2), and 'Learning Coaching' (middle school grade 2, high school grade 1).

Information usage applications can be reserved through the integrated reception window on the district office website, and for other inquiries, detailed guidance can be obtained by contacting the Nowon Education Platform.

The opening ceremony will be held on the 14th, and on the same day, a special lecture titled 'Changes in School Education and the Role of Parents' by Professor Kwon Oh-hyun of Seoul National University, former head of the Seoul National University Admissions Office, will be conducted through prior registration.

Mayor Oh Seung-rok said, "I hope that visitors to NEP, which offers a pleasant environment, will find career and college entrance paths and study methods suited to themselves with the help of professional consultants," adding, "We will help bridge the educational information gap by providing various information tailored to the needs of users."
