[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Trainee Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] On the 10th, the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education held a performance sharing meeting for the ‘Education Welfare Connection Group,’ which provides customized activities for students in need of care.

The Education Welfare Connection Group is a project by the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education to closely support educationally vulnerable students within the local community by training educational guardians at the neighborhood level.

The Connection Group held its launching ceremony in August and began the project.

A total of 23 educational guardians, including parents, community members, village seed clubs, small library activists, counseling volunteers, and office workers, are active.

The guardians have been observing the students’ environments to support their growth through programs related to learning, psychological and emotional care, and caregiving.

They also ensured that urgent issues could be quickly connected to the local community welfare system.

The guardians have met with 12 students facing difficulties in the community over 170 times, providing customized activities for each student.

Activities included basic learning support for students with slow academic progress, counseling support for students with emotional difficulties, and teaching students from grandparent-headed households how to shop, do laundry, and cook.

According to the satisfaction survey results for the Education Welfare Connection Group, 100% of the group members, 100% of the students’ recommenders, and 91.6% of the students responded positively.

The reasons for satisfaction were highest for the group members in ‘emotional rapport,’ for the recommenders in ‘providing various experiential opportunities to the students,’ and for the students in ‘counseling and special activities.’

The re-participation rate for next year’s Education Welfare Connection Group activities is 83.9% for group members, 100% for student recommenders, and 75% for students.

A member who participated in the Education Welfare Connection Group activities said, “I felt proud to naturally fill the gaps in the children’s lives as a social guardian.”

Superintendent No Ok-hee said, “The Office of Education will take the lead in identifying needs, expanding the system, and strengthening a detailed education welfare safety net.”
