[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Jeon Dong-pyeong) announced on the 28th that it has secured 25 million KRW in national funding after being selected for the 2021 Lifelong Learning Public Contest Project (literacy education, home-visit literacy classes) organized by the Ministry of Education.

This public contest project, aimed at adult literacy education, is a program that provides educational opportunities to illiterate and low-educated adults in line with lifelong learning throughout the life cycle of all citizens, supporting the improvement of daily living skills and opportunities for social participation.

In particular, the visiting literacy classes select learners who had difficulty participating in education due to transportation or health reasons and provide them with learning opportunities. This project received high marks for its plan to move away from the previous large-scale group education method in response to the With-Corona era.

The county plans to dispatch literacy education instructors to the homes of those wishing to receive education and provide lifelong learning opportunities to about 200 individuals through a customized approach suitable for each learner.

A county official said, “We are considering various measures such as strengthening quarantine rules and regular diagnostic tests to provide diverse lifelong learning opportunities to residents in the COVID-19 environment,” adding, “We will continue to implement lifelong learning policies that offer practical help.”
