Gwangju Nam-gu Operates Lifelong Learning Program for Educationally Disadvantaged Groups

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) announced on the 4th that it will operate customized lifelong learning programs for educationally marginalized groups who do not have guaranteed learning opportunities, such as elderly people living alone, marriage immigrant women, and out-of-school youth.

First, at the Nam-gu Senior Welfare Center, 15 elderly people aged 65 or older living alone are participating once a week in smart silver education to learn drone and coding skills.

They will learn the principles of drone operation, coding input, drone flying, and creating works using a 3D pen over 20 sessions until early October.

From today, the Nam-gu Multicultural Family Support Center and Nam-gu Out-of-School Youth Support Center will operate programs for marriage immigrant women and youth, respectively, including a Silver Cooking Instructor Level 1 certification course and a Chocolatier (chocolate chef) Level 3 certification course.

The Silver Cooking Instructor training course will be held every Tuesday until early August, where marriage immigrant women will learn about fermented foods, side dishes, and everyday cooking to prepare healthy meals.

Also, 10 local youths will study chocolate theory and create various artistic works every Tuesday and Thursday to obtain the highly regarded Chocolatier certification.

After completing the training course, they plan to take the Chocolatier Level 3 certification exam scheduled for the 8th of next month.

A Nam-gu official said, “We will do our best to operate programs that resolve educational inequality for those who have not had access to learning opportunities and to improve self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment through customized educational programs.”
