[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 6th that it was selected as an outstanding institution in the '2021 Lifelong Education Literacy Education Field' and received a commendation from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education.

Sancheong-gun is a lifelong learning city selected by the Ministry of Education and has been selected for the Gyeongnam lifelong education public contest project for four consecutive years (as of 2021).

In addition, it has been selected for three consecutive years for the 'GED Program Operation Support Project' and the 'Adult Literacy Education Support Project,' hosted by the Ministry of Education and organized by the National Institute for Lifelong Education.

With the selection of this contest, the county secured 68 million KRW in national funds and is expanding the base of adult literacy education.

Since last year, it has been designated as a literacy education specialized institution by the Gyeongnam Provincial Office of Education and is making various efforts to fulfill the 'dream of lifelong learning' for the elderly.

Focusing on the fact that there is a high demand for adult literacy education among the elderly and others in the region, the county has been operating a visiting adult literacy class for 150 to 200 local residents every year since 2017.

Along with basic literacy education, it is promoting various literacy education projects such as GED preparation programs and elementary academic recognition classes.

A county official said, "Through the steady operation of adult literacy classes, many elderly people who started learning to read and write late received many awards at the national adult literacy education poetry contest, which was a proud moment," and added, "We will continue to help the elderly achieve their 'dream of lifelong learning' and develop and operate customized lifelong education programs so that anyone in Sancheong, regardless of age or gender, can enjoy and learn lifelong education."

Meanwhile, this commendation is awarded by the Ministry of Education to nationwide institutions and organizations that have contributed to supporting and revitalizing literacy education, to boost the morale of literacy education workers and to discover and disseminate excellent cases.
