Chosun University Selected as Host University for Ministry of Education's 'Paran Sadari' Project

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Chosun University announced on the 28th that it has been selected as the host university for the '2021 Paransa-dari' project organized by the Korea Student Aid Foundation under the Ministry of Education.

The Paransa-dari project aims to provide opportunities for overseas training to university students who have dreams and passion for self-development and career exploration despite socio-economic difficulties, thereby realizing equal educational opportunities.

During the winter vacation period, about one month of overseas dispatch training and pre- and post-dispatch educational programs aim to support the development of core competencies such as self-directedness and openness to other cultures for participating students.

Since 2018, the Ministry of Education has been selecting host universities by region and promoting the Paransa-dari project.

As Chosun University has been selected as the host university, it plans to provide pre-career education, language training programs in the United States, Australia, and Malaysia, and post-education in the 2021 academic year with a budget of about 240 million KRW. All expenses for airfare, language training fees, and dormitory fees required for the training will be provided as scholarships.

Fifty students belonging to economically and socially vulnerable groups among enrolled students will be selected, including not only Chosun University students but also students from other universities in the Honam and Jeju regions.

The 50 students consist of 43 students from the basic livelihood security recipients to the third income quintile, 2 socially vulnerable students, and 5 students from the fourth and fifth income quintiles. Basic livelihood security recipients will also receive local living expenses such as meal and transportation costs.

Selected students will receive pre-education programs including ▲ overview of the Paransa-dari project and host universities ▲ general information and precautions about the host countries ▲ team project composition and planning ▲ safety ▲ basic language education, as well as ▲ mentoring programs and career counseling.

The number of selected students by country is 20 for the United States (Pace University, 4 weeks), 20 for Malaysia (City University, 4 weeks), and 10 for Australia (Griffith University, 4 weeks).

Students dispatched to each university will form small teams to carry out challenge tasks during the training period, and scholarships necessary for task completion will also be provided.

Meanwhile, Chosun University is advancing as a global university with excellent internationalization education capabilities by operating a student-centered education system that can enhance international competitiveness as a university certified for educational internationalization competency by the Ministry of Education.
