Gyeonggi Office of Education to Provide 50,000 KRW 'Education Recovery Support Fund' per Student to 1.66 Million Students

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education will provide the second round of educational recovery support funds of 50,000 KRW per student to approximately 1.66 million students enrolled in public, private, and alternative schools in the province on the 30th of this month.

The educational recovery support funds were established to address students' learning deficits and support psychological and emotional recovery caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted normal in-person classes, as well as to alleviate the economic burden on parents.

The Gyeonggi Office of Education had previously disbursed the first round of educational recovery support funds on the 15th of last month.

Earlier, in response to a request from the Democratic Party of the Provincial Council, the Gyeonggi Office of Education formulated a plan to allocate 83.3 billion KRW for the second round of payments.

Unlike the first round, which was paid using local currency in the Gyeonggi region, this round will be paid to parents' school banking accounts or accounts designated by parents upon application. Parents who wish to receive the funds must submit an application form to the respective school by the 28th of this month.
