The education used quizzes and videos tailored to the students' level, covering topics such as ▲What are the types of local taxes? ▲What happens if you do not pay taxes? It explained the types of taxes, payment methods, and situations arising from delinquency, emphasizing the importance of sincere tax payment.

Using tax quizzes and small prizes, active participation from the students was encouraged, and the lectures were conducted with pictures and real-life examples rather than difficult terms to help children easily understand the content.

This program, with the cooperation of the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education, was directly researched and planned by eight officials from the Seo-gu Tax Department, who developed educational content including pictures and real-life examples to aid students' understanding.

A Seo-gu official stated, “Since youth are future taxpayers, it is important to help them understand taxes correctly and the meaning of sincere tax payment from an early age,” adding, “We hope they grow into mature citizens through fostering tax awareness.”
