[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] Im Tae-hee, candidate for Superintendent of Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, announced student welfare policies for preschool, elementary, middle, and high school students as well as out-of-school youth on the 31st.

For education of 3- to 5-year-old children, the plan is to realize full free education by compensating parents with vouchers for the amount they would otherwise pay additionally, excluding the Nuri Curriculum support fund and after-school course fees, in both public and private sectors.

For elementary students, after-school support centers will be operated at local education support offices, and after-school vouchers will be provided to run programs focused on arts and physical education.

Additionally, one smart device will be provided per student from elementary through high school to strengthen digital capabilities.

For vocational high school students, support will be provided for communication and transportation costs to replace the scholarship system, and dormitory construction will be supported for specialized high schools in eup and myeon areas.

The quality of school meals will be improved and the cafeteria will be remodeled to a cafeteria-style dining hall allowing students to adjust the amount of food they want to eat through self-service.

Other promises include ▲expansion of rest facilities ▲creation of school galleries ▲installation of learning and welfare centers serving as hubs for out-of-school students and establishment of alternative school networks ▲activation of school social welfare projects and education-focused school projects ▲promotion of alternative schools through transition school programs.

Candidate Im Tae-hee said, "Student welfare is one of the basic educational rights. Rather than providing free allowances, investment should be prioritized to help students focus on their primary role, which is learning," adding, "I will strive to create an educational environment where students can learn well."
