Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk's First Adoption Child Receives School Preparation Fund Support

100,000 Won for Elementary School Admission, 500,000 Won for Middle and High School Admission

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gui-yeol] Uljin County is the first in the Gyeongbuk region to provide school enrollment preparation funds to adopted children.

Uljin County established the Uljin County Adopted Children Support Ordinance on July 16 last year to promote adoption and improve child welfare, expanding the adoption congratulatory payment and providing school enrollment preparation funds to adopted children.

The adoption congratulatory payment totals 3 million KRW, consisting of 2 million KRW supported by the Ministry of Health and Welfare plus an additional 1 million KRW from the county. The school enrollment preparation fund, the first of its kind in Gyeongbuk, provides 100,000 KRW for elementary school entrants and 500,000 KRW each for middle and high school entrants.

The support targets families who have continuously registered their residence in Uljin County for at least one year prior to the adoption registration date and have actually adopted a child while residing there. Applications must be submitted to the local town office or the county office department in charge within one year after the adoption registration or one month before school enrollment.

Yoon Eun-kyung, Director of the Welfare Policy Division, stated, “We plan to implement various welfare services for adoptive families who have given birth to children with their hearts.”
