Gyeonggi-do Support 'Out-of-School Youth' Pass Rate for GED 91.1%

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] It has been revealed that the youth belonging to the out-of-school youth support center 'Kkumdeulim,' supported by Gyeonggi Province, achieved a pass rate of 91.1% in this year's qualification exams.

On the 6th, Gyeonggi Province announced that 1,762 youths belonging to 'Kkumdeulim,' supported by the province, took the '2021 2nd Qualification Exam (elementary, middle, high school)' held at 17 schools in the province on the 11th of last month, and 1,605 passed.

Previously, the pass rate for the 1st qualification exam in April was 88.7%.

Kkumdeulim operates preparation classes and customized learning mentoring for qualification exams under the support of Gyeonggi Province for out-of-school youth. As face-to-face classes became difficult due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, video classes were introduced starting last year.

Kim Hyang-ja, head of the Youth Division of the province, stated, "We will actively promote the youth support center Kkumdeulim, which provides various support such as counseling and welfare, education and learning, employment and independence, and health for out-of-school youth, so that they can learn about the world in a safe environment."

In the province, there is one Gyeonggi-do Out-of-School Youth Support Center and a total of 31 out-of-school youth support centers, one in each city and county except Yeoncheon, are being operated.
