According to the county on the 11th, the adult literacy education project is designed to provide various basic education opportunities to adults who missed the chance for formal education during school age, allowing residents to enjoy the right to lifelong learning.

With this year's selection for the public contest project, the county plans to directly visit township-level areas with low access to education to provide educational services and strengthen support for digital literacy education using smartphones and various devices.

In addition to the county public library, Irum School, Baeksan Church, Geumgwa Senior Center, Ssangchi Small Library, and Ingye Small Library, which currently operate adult literacy education programs, six more locations will be supported this year to provide more elderly residents with learning opportunities.

County Governor Choi Young-il said, "Through this public contest selection, more elderly residents of Sunchang-gun will be able to participate in literacy education programs," adding, "I hope that the elderly will find their daily lives more convenient through Korean language education and digital education."
