Expansion of Care Services to Ensure Dual-Income Families Can Safely Send Children to School During Vacations
[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 22nd that it will carry out the ‘Winter Vacation Elementary School Care Classroom’ support project for elementary school students in the area.
The city will support overtime pay for care supervisors and student meal expenses during the vacation so that dual-income families can safely leave their lower-grade students at school even during the vacation period.
