According to the county on the 9th, the enrollment congratulatory money is a campaign pledge of the 8th civilian administration promoted by the county to strengthen the public nature of education and realize universal educational welfare.


The support target includes any elementary, middle, or high school student registered as a resident in the county as of the enrollment date.


Elementary students will receive 100,000 KRW, middle school students 200,000 KRW, and high school students 300,000 KRW, paid in local currency Jangseong Sarang Gift Certificates.


The county expects this to contribute not only to solidifying educational welfare but also to revitalizing the local economy.


Applications can be submitted by the student's parent or guardian with an ID card at the administrative welfare center of their residence by the 20th of this month.


The county plans to start payments from the end of this month after verifying eligibility such as enrollment status.


With the announcement of the enrollment congratulatory money support, expectations among local parents are rising.


County Governor Kim Han-jong said, "I hope the enrollment congratulatory money, which will be paid from the end of this month, supports students' healthy school life and helps reduce household burdens. We will continue to invest generously in nurturing talent."
