[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Daekyo announced on the 17th that it will promote an educational support project for children with borderline intellectual functioning in collaboration with the Geumcheon Disabled Family Support Center.

Borderline intellectual functioning refers to individuals with an intelligence quotient (IQ) level of 71 to 84, who have slower learning and cognitive development compared to typical students but are not classified as intellectually disabled, thus unable to receive welfare benefits.

This project, conducted under the theme "I want to get along with my friends," aims to support children with borderline intellectual functioning?who are in welfare blind spots?by providing education to improve learning and social skills, helping them become independent members of society.

Through 'My Pace,' a specialized service launched for the first time by an educational company, Daekyo will provide systematic, level-based customized education to children with borderline intellectual functioning.

The educational support project, which will run for about six months, will support a total of approximately 60 children divided into two support areas: 'learning' and 'social skills improvement,' based on recommendations from school principals and institution heads. Learning support targets elementary to middle school students, while social skills improvement support targets elementary to high school students.

A Daekyo official stated, "We expect this educational support project to raise social understanding of borderline intellectual functioning and provide an opportunity for these children to strengthen their capabilities as members of society," adding, "Daekyo will continue to offer various educational services so that marginalized groups can learn and grow together."
