Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education to Provide Enrollment Preparation Funds for All New Elementary, Middle, and High School Students
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 16th that it will support entrance preparation funds for all new students entering elementary, middle, and high schools nationwide for the first time this year.
The support target includes all first-grade new students enrolled as of March 10 who are entering elementary, middle, and high schools in the Gwangju area this year. There are no restrictions based on the student's age or household income.
After the school opens in March, individual schools will inform parents through newsletters and other means about the entrance preparation fund support plan and will distribute the funds to guardians (students) upon receiving the application form.
The entrance preparation fund is 100,000 KRW per elementary school student and 250,000 KRW per middle and high school student, and must be fully used to purchase items directly or indirectly necessary for school admission.
New students transferring to schools within Gwangju Metropolitan City after March will receive the fund only if it is confirmed that they have not received entrance preparation funds or uniform support from other cities or provinces to avoid duplicate payments.
This entrance preparation fund support project is jointly funded by the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education, Gwangju City, and each autonomous district, bearing 55%, 25%, and 20% respectively, with a total project cost of 8.552 billion KRW.
