[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Dongmyung University has been selected as a general financial support university in the 2021 University Basic Competency Diagnosis preliminary results announced by the Ministry of Education and the Korea Educational Development Institute.

Once the final results are confirmed at the end of August, the university will become a target of the government's University Innovation Support Project as a general financial support university for the next three years.

Unlike purpose-specific financial support, general financial support allows universities to use funds more broadly, enabling autonomous financial management.

President Jeon Ho-hwan said, "We can now focus more on nurturing practical talents through continuous and stable industry-academia cooperation," adding, "We will strive to strengthen university competitiveness while promoting university projects that develop together with the region."

Dongmyung University, selected again as a general financial support university following 2018, established the Do-ing University to shift Korean university education from a 'knowledge delivery' focus to a 'practical execution (Do-ing) competency' focus. Experience and practice are the core of the Do-ing University curriculum.

The Ministry of Education and the Korea Educational Development Institute, after deliberation by the University Structure Reform Committee, notified each university of the 2021 University Basic Competency Diagnosis preliminary results on August 17. Among 161 general universities subject to diagnosis, 136 universities nationwide, including Dongmyung University, were selected as general financial support universities.

The 2021 University Basic Competency Diagnosis comprehensively evaluated the basic competencies universities must have, including development plan achievements, educational conditions, accountability in university management, class and curriculum operation, student support, and educational outcomes. It has been conducted every three years since 2015.
