[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwi-yeol] The Gyeongbuk Office of Education will provide support for this year's education expenses and educational benefits for elementary, middle, and high school students from low-income families.

'Education expenses' are selected according to the criteria for each support item and include support for ▲ after-school free course vouchers ▲ school trip expenses ▲ training activity expenses ▲ internet communication fees, etc.

'Educational benefits' provide educational activity support funds such as supplementary textbook fees and stationery purchase costs to students from households with income below 50% of the median income.

The support unit price for educational activity support funds has increased compared to last year. Elementary students receive 331,000 KRW per year, middle school students 466,000 KRW per year, and high school students 554,000 KRW per year.

To apply for education expenses and educational benefits, visit the local eup/myeon/dong community service center or apply online through the Welfare One-Click Education Expense Application System.

Applications can be submitted year-round, but since support starts from the month of application, it is advantageous to apply during the concentrated application period at the beginning of the semester.

Choi Seon-ji, Director of the Financial Information Division, said, "With the increase in the educational benefit support unit price, students eligible for educational benefits will receive more benefits this year."
