Gyeonggi Office of Education Provides Year-Round 'Tuition and Educational Benefits' for Low-Income Families

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education will provide educational benefits and tuition support throughout the year to guarantee educational opportunities and reduce the financial burden for low-income students.

When selected as an educational benefit recipient, the Gyeonggi Office of Education provides annual educational activity support funds of ▲331,000 KRW for elementary students ▲466,000 KRW for middle school students ▲554,000 KRW for high school students. Next year, the support amount will increase by an average of 22.7%.

The Gyeonggi Office of Education also supports tuition fees by category. The eligibility criteria for each category can be found on the provincial education office website under 'Educational Welfare Support.'

Those who wish to receive support can apply year-round by visiting their local administrative welfare center or through the Bokjiro or Tuition One-Click Application System.

Students currently receiving educational benefits and tuition support do not need to reapply. Whether tuition support has been omitted can be checked through the Tuition One-Click Application System.

Educational benefits and tuition support are processed within 30 to 60 days after application, and the results of the review are notified to parents or guardians via text message (SMS) and other means.

Choi Jin-yong, Director of Educational Welfare Planning at the Provincial Office of Education, stated, "We will strengthen publicity to discover students in welfare blind spots and actively work to expand the support targets and amounts to eliminate educational disparities among low-income groups."
